Stresses Produced on Airships by Gusty Air

Most airship pilots are of opinion that severe aerodynamic forces act on airships flying in bumpy weather. An exact computation of the magnitude of these forces is not possible as they depend on the strength and shape of the gusts and as probably no two exactly equal gusts occur.

Speed Tests of Flying Boats

The accurate determination of the air speed of flying boats and seaplanes always presented considerable difficulties. Although it is possible to lay out the measuring mile along the shore, this would be good only for one direction of the wind, and if the direction of the prevailing winds does not coincide with the shore line, chances are that the course can be used only in exceptional cases.
