KITES A8 FLYING MACHINES, j
As Is well known, when one flies a
klto tho cord holds the kite against
the wind. The wlud passing on tho
miner sine or tne Kite, strikes It an an
gle and raises the kite Into the air.
If tho wind bo blowing at a high ve
locity, say thirty-five miles an hour,
the kite will lift from one to five
pounds per square foot according to
tho ancle at which it lu lu.id i i,
If the angle be slight, the amount of
strain on tho cord necessary to hold
It ngulnst the wind will be found to bo
considerably less than the weight of
m sue, ana tne load which It Is able
to lift, particularly so If the cord pulls
In a horizontal direction instead of
at an uncle. It Is also well known that
if the kite bo propelled in a calm
through the air, say at tho rate of
ininy-uvo miles an hour, the effect Is
exactly tho same. Suppose now, In
stead of the cord for holding the kite
iikimuhi no wind or fnr nn.iw.i n if
against the still air, that a screw pro
peller shold be attached to the kite aud
Hint it should bo driven by some mo
tor. If the screw psopeller could bo
mndo to give a push equal to the pull
of the kite, nnd If the machinery for
driving It should be no greater than
tho weight that the kite would be able
to carry, we should have a veritable
flying machine. Hlrnm S. Maxim In
