Summary: "The Theory and Practice of Model Aeroplaning" by V. E. Johnson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the principles and practices associated with constructing model aeroplanes, emphasizing the importance of balancing theoretical understanding with practical implementation. It discusses various factors impacting aeroplane design, including weight, resistance, stability, and propulsion. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent to illustrate the art and science of model aeroplaning, distinguishing between models that are designed primarily to fly and those that serve as miniatures of full-sized aircraft. It outlines the challenges of building scale models capable of flight, particularly under 10 feet, and emphasizes the significance of weight management in achieving successful flights. Johnson suggests that model aeroplanes should prioritize simplicity for efficiency, and initiates a discussion on the critical issue of weight, setting the stage for further exploration of aerodynamics and design considerations crucial for aspiring model aeroplane builders.
