INVESTIGATIONS OF THE “FLYING MAN" Herr Lilienthal Tells of His TInquiries In tho Kealms of Aviatus in His Efforts to Produce n Flying Mac « ) —(Correspondence of The pyr BERLI Bee.)—The experience of the century and more which has elapsed since the epoch- making Invention of Montgolfier has taught us that the balloon is of practieal service only when confined. The whims of the winds are too capricious to afford a frust- worthy basis of procedure, and notwith- standing the expedients which the progress of sclence has made it possible to apply, all attempts to control a free balloon or to gulde it In any given direction have thus far been wnavailing, and we scem to be no nearer to a satisfactory solution of the prob- lem than were our predecessors of hundreds of years ago. The attention of investigators has beed diverted, therefore, to flying ma- chines like Prof. Wilner's, and alr-ships like Mr. Maxim's The first recorded attempt to reduce the principle to practice was made at Paris in in the year 1673 by a locksmith named Bes- sler, who constructed an apparatus with which he was able to sustain himself in the May our breakfasts; penny by penny, the money to prsecute our investigations, and often the ‘struggle” for 1ife’ compelled us to in- terrupt them fndefinitely, “While we' wére dévoting every moment of our #pare time to the solution of the.prob. lem, almost. every one in Germany regarded the mpn who would waste his energies In such ‘unproductive labor as a fool. Years ago the - most distinguished professor of mathematios in the Berlin Industrial acad- emy sent me word that of course it could do 1o harm to amuse myself with such pas- times, but warned me earnesly against put ting any money into them. A special com- mission of experts, organized by the state, had, in fact, Taid it down ns a fundamen- tal priuciple, once for all, that It was im- possible for a man to fly. German so- cletles. for the promotion of aeronautics did not then exist, and those subsequently formed were devoted almost entirely to the Interests of ballooning. I have always re- garded the balloon and tne exclusive at- tention which it so long attracted as a hindraned rather than a help to the devel- opment.of the art of flight. If it had never been fnvented it is probable that more seri- ous . fnyestigations would have been prose- cuted_toward other sulutions of the prob- lem. Since the time of Montgolfier nearly all practical efforts have been directed to the improventent of the balloon. But it has nothing in common with the birds, and it is theso that we must take as our model and exemplar, What we are seeking is the means of free motion in the air in any di- rection.~ In this the balloon is of no aid; there is no relation botween the two sys- tems. “Many Important questions, however, are still to be determined. The simple knowl- edge that' the arching of the wings imparts sustaining power is by no means a dis- covery of the art of flight.” LESSONS FROM THE OARSMAN. In order to appreclate the gulding motive of Herr Lilienthal's researches It is necessary to say a word on the means of flight with which nature has provided the denizens of the air. The wing of a bird is divided into START FROM TOP OF A HILL air during a brief flight, or, in other words, to descend gradually from an elevated point, with a gliding motion forward. Another attempt was made In the year 1742 by the marquis de Bacqueville, a well known courtier of the time of Louis XV., who undertook, by the ald of a pair of wings which he had devised, to sall through the air from an elevated terrace of his hotel on the Qual des Theatins, on the left bank of the Seine, across the river to the garden of the Tuilleries. Crowds assembled to wit- ness the experiment, which, if contemporary reports are to be trusted, would have suc- ceeded it the marquis had not come into in- glorious collision with a “wash-boat” or floating laundry, and broken his leg. In 1782, Montgolfier's Invention of the ballson 80 captivated the imagination and engrossed the attention of all observers, that further researches Into the phenomena of actual ~nfiight were suspended for, nearly & century. .~ Herr Ottto Lilienthal of Berlin, who has attained some.celebrity as the “flying man,” conducted 'a 1ong serles'of experiments which bave at length been rewarded with an en- couraging measure of success. Herr Lilien- thal was born forty-six years ago in the antiquated little city of Anklam, near the Baltic coast of Pomerania, about sixty miles #to the northwest of Stettin. A residence so pear the gea afforded hfm in early life many an opportunity of prosecuting his favorite wstudies and observations. In later years he * migrated with his younger brother, Gustay, his enthusiastic coadjutor in all his searches in the domain of Aviatus, to Ber- 1in, where he established and is now con- ducting a large manufactory of small steam enginos, whose mechanical appllances fur- nish him with every facility for the con- struction of his flylng apparatus. He re- ! Juldés, however, in the comparatively rural suburb of Lichterfelde, and his late experi- * ‘ments have been conducted chiefly in the nelghboring localities of Steglitz and the Rhipower Bergen. He is an accomplished mathematictan and a close observer of na- ‘ture, and s besldes endowed in large measure with that poetical instinct which nearly always constitutes one side of even the most practical German character. DISCARDED FLAT WINGS. After many experiments with flat wings, or plain surfaces, Herr Lilienthal became convinced that it was the general parabolic ‘eurve of the wing which enabled the bird to sustain itselt without apparent effort in the air.- and even to soar without a motion of the wings against the wind, like the al- batross, or seagull, or stork, and this may ‘be regarded as the most important outcome of Herr Lilienthal's inyestigations. Illus- trations are not far to seek. The circular ascents of the carrier pigeon, as he rises hen released to gain a general view of the landscape, and to take his bearings be- fora starting on his homeward journey, de- poud upon this principle. He fiies with the wind, but he sails or soars against it. It geems strange that the rationale of the phe- nomena was not earlier recognized. The fins of many fishes and the webbed feet of many aquatic birds are strikingly analogous of construction; the sails of a ship assume RISING. a similar form. Look at the lateen sail of an ordinary cat boat, for Instance; it siwould: be fmpossible to sail so near the wind f the instrument of propulsion were a rigid flav surface, It is the effort of the sall to get away from the wind which it gathers in its ample bosom which drives the boat forward almost in the very teeth < of the breeze. An Inflexible sall of sheet iron for example would have no such effect. With ethes wind on the quarter, or even directly Fabeam, the boat might make some progress, ;pm it the avjnd shifted a point or two for- & ¥wira’ tts tendency would be to drive the boat astern “Now that we possess dlagrams,” sald Herr Lilienthal to me, “which plainly 1i- T Sjustrate all these phenom it seems uite easy to explain the flight of birds, for every crow that flles over our heads . offers a practical solution of the riddle, Re- V' cent researches Into the laws of atmos- pherfc rasdstance lead clearly to the deduc- tion. that curved or arched surfaces are to libe proferred to flat ones, but discovery was by no means. as simpl solr-evident as it now appears. There still promipent - Investigators. who will %@ dhat.-the arched or vaulted wing oludes the secret of the art of flight 4w palié upon the track of this idea ” :m.hn, and I, who were then youhg a nd re not in- wl wholy without means, used to spare from the original | threo' parts, corresponding to the shoulder- Joint, the fore-arm and the hand fingers of the human frame, The two former, com- posed largely of bones and muscles and ten- dons, are comparatively heavy, and their rapid movement demands the expenditure of considerable physical force; the last consists almost entirely of “pen-feathers” or ‘“pin- fons,” which move to a certain extent aut matically. In the larger birds—the “sailers’ or the “soarers,’* which alone are to be con- sidered here—the first two members, with their up-curved surfaces, furnish the sus- taining power, ‘and the last, belng at the greatest distance from the shoulder, or axis of motion, the chlef propulsion force. The construction of each member is pecullarly adapted to its speclal purpose, and it is this which Herr Lilienthal has endeavored to imi- tate. . An oarsman, on his forward stroke, opposes the blade of his car almost perpendicularly to the resistance of the water; as he lifts it at the beginning of the backward stroke he “feathers’” it, or brings it into a nearly horizontal position, so that its edge cuts tho air, The pinions of "birds act in' precisely the same way. This Is denionstrated Dy ob- sorvation of the wing movements of the sea- brella form universally Adopted for the par- achute. Try to run with an open umbrella held above the head and slightly finclined backward and see what a Ifting power it oxerts, “I must confess,”” said Herr Lillenthal, “that to my brother and myself, who hung our flat wings upon the wall twenty years ago, the obstinate adherence of nearly all exporimenters to the aeroplane seems in- comprehensible, “In my long intercourse with the air and the winds, In all their varying phases, I have learned that there is an extraordinary category of difficulties to be overcome. In my trials of wings moved by the feet, in my attempts to construct steam flylng ma- chines, and in my experiments with me- chanical birds of every description I dis- covered how difficult it is to maintain a steady positidn in the air, independent of the caprices of the wind. I therefore, gave up for the time all efforts toward actual propulsion and applicd myself to the dis: covery of the simplest form of wing that would enable me to sall steadily through the air on a gentle incline, and by practice to master the wind, that hereditary foe of all aeronaunts, “I adhere fiemly to my.-cofiviction that the wings must be slightly concave. That is the fundamental condition of success. The curve of a bird's wing is parabolic, but the simple parobola differs so little from the arc of a circle that I adopted the latter curve as the more practicable, and the wings which I now use are in the main sexments of a spherical surface. - They are &0 con- structed that they can be folded together like the wings of a bat, &nd require very little storage room when not ‘in use. “It was only gradually that I arrived at the proper dimensions. One does not easily gain an adequate conception of the materi- ality of the air, and my apprehensions led me at first to make the wings too large. I found that the varying force of the at- mospheric currents, modified as they are by the undulations’ of the. earth’s surface, endangered my equilibrium n direct propor- tion to the spread of the wings. Those which I now employ are never more than twenty-three feet from tip to tip, and I am thus cnabled by a simple change of posture 50 to alter the position of the center of gravity as to restore the equilibrium. BALANCING - PARADOXES. “There are limits also to the breadth of the wings, or their extension backwards. The operator must be able in a moment to transfer the center of gravity so far to the rear as fo overcome the action of the alr, which might otherwise tend to throw him forwards, and precipitate him to the earth. When one feels himself falling, the natural impulse is to stretch out the arms and legs In the direction of the fall, but it is one of the peculiarities of this mode of navigation that the movement must be in the contrary direction, or toward the upper side. The center of gravity is shifted to the one side or the other, forward or back- ward, and the pressure of the air, acting with ' greater force on the lighter and broader surface, soon restores the equilib- rium. It is not easy to realize in practico at first, but after a ‘short experience the movement becomes almost Involuntary.” It is exactly like “trimming” a boat; the welght must be thrown on the side which is uppermost, “But is there not great danger?" I asked, “‘of a serlous fall in such cnses?" 7 “No,” " replied Herr Lillenthal. “When there is no wind, the apparatus acts simply as a parachute. The pressure of the air is directly from beneath, and is equal on all parts of the under surface. I have more than once found myself in this position when I have utilized the speed attained in a gradual descent, In risiug to a greater height, in order to soar over some obstacle like a tree, or a crowd <of pebple. Under favorable circumstances it is easy to mount to a height even greater than that of the starting point, but the forward motion is thereby partlaily or wholly neutralized, and it may happen that ope comes to a com- plete standstill in-mid-air. In such cases it is only necessary to throw the center of gravity so far back that the air shall act more powerful on the forward surface, and the gradual gliding descent Is resumed. So in landing, I bend backward exactly as a crow does when alighting in a fleid, and reach the ground without tho slightest shock. * The“worst *ihat s Hkely to Jiappen in any case.is'the breaking: of-the appar- atus; there 15 little danger to life or limb. s FLYING. and the oar. SOME EXPERIMENTS. To the conviction that concave or vaulted wings were essential to success, Herr Lilien- thal was led not only by the examination of a great variety of natural wings and by theoretieal deductions, but by actual experi- menti+ The means adopted for this purpose were Ingenious and simple. He fitted up an apparatus,in the form of the “fly-fans” found ~n the dining tables of clubs and restaurants, with two long arms revolving horizontally, to the ends of which surfaces of dlfferent Kkinds and degrees of curvatures could be affixed in any required position. The mo- tive power was furnished by & welght, and could be exactly measured. There was also an adjustment which enabled the observer to measure the lifting force of various sur- faces, moving at different angles of inclina- tion through still air. By this means Herr Lilienthal was endbled to reach conclusions which were of great value to him in the con- struction of his flying machine; and the most important of them was that the most effect- ive form of wing was that whose convexity, as measured by the versed line of the are, should be'one-twelfth of the breadth of the wing, or, of the Jength of the chord connect- ing the opposite edges. Tho flying machine devised and now used by Herr Lilienthal is designed rather for the proper sense of the term; or, as he says, “for belng carried steadily 'and without dapger, under the least possible angle of descent, against & moderate wind, from an olevated polut to the plain below.” It is made entirely of closely woven muslin, washed with collodin to render it imperyious to air, and stretched upon @ ribbed frame of split’ willow, which has been ' found to be the lightest and strongest material for this purpose. Its main elements are the arched wings, a ver- tical rudder shaped like & conventional palm leaf, which acts like a vane in keeping the head alWays toward the wind, and a flat borizontal rudder to prevent sudden changes™ in the ecquilibrium. The operator o ad- Justs the apparatun to. his person that when in the ajr-he-will be seated upon a narrow with the wings salling. than flying, suport near. the front, an folded behind him, makes a short run from somo olevated point, .always against the wind, and, when he has attained sufficlent velocity, launches himself into the air by a spring or jump, at the same time spreading the wing, whigh are at once extended to thelr full -breadth by atmospheric action, whereupon ;he salls majestically along like a gigantic sea gull. In this way Herr Lilienthal has accomplighed flights of nearly 300 yards from the starting point. The same method is practiced by the storks and when they take the larger birds of prey, flight from the ground. HOW SUBSTANTIAL THE AIR IS! ! “No one, sald Herr Lilienthal to me, | “can realize how substantial the air is until | be feels its supporting power beneath him. It inspires confidence at once. If the wings were flat the speed might be greater, but the sustaining power would be reduced and the descent would therefore be more rapid | With arched wings it is possible to sall ax a moderale breeze at an angle of not more than six degrees to the horl zontal.” The principle Is recognized in the um- mews or gulls, which Herr Lilienthal regards as the most instructive exemplars of the art of flight. d There are other analogies between the wing I am far from supposing that my wings, although they afford the means of sailing and even of soaring in the air, possess all the delicate and subtle qualities necessary to the perfection of the art of flight. But my researches show that it is- well- worth while to prosecute the Invstigations further, and in the end, perhaps, to realize the beau- ideal of all modes of motion, 'and to turn it to practical account. “To this end arched or vaulted wings are the first essentlal. They not-only develop the greatest sustaining power, but, when properly constructed, they rather increase than retard the volocity of motion. An- other requisite is a moderate wind. Its 1ifting power so0 modifies the conditions of atmospheric resistance that the bird resem- bles a kite, which not only needs no string, ).u:ldwhlch can move freely even against the wind.” SAME WAY WITH KITES. The anologies and illustrations furnished by the different forms of kite are worth a moment's notice. The best kite is that which preserves as nearly .as. possible the bird form and presents the largest concave surface to the brecze. The common hexag- onal kite, with its stiff cross pieces tied to- gether at the center, Is the worst of all forms because its surface is thus kept nearly flat. A great {mprovement upon this is the “bow kite,” with a semi-iroular:top and a tapering point. If constructed with its bones beneath the skin instéad’ of above it, as all creatures should be, except sluggish chelonians and mollusks, like turtles and clams, it will be found to assume, under the pressurc of the wind, very ncarly the parabolic form of a bird's wing, and instead of tugging at the string at an angle of forty- flve degrees to the horizon it will rise much higher and sall at a much closer angle to the wind. It Is to this arching or vaulting of the sustaining surfaces that the Chinese and Japanese kites owe their remarkable ascen- sive power, The more nearly a kite ap- proaches to the form of a flying bird the bet- ter will be the result. Herr Lillenthal con- structed one of an Ingenlous combination of stift willow rods with strong muslin, which floated almost horizontally directly overhead, and by shortening the forward stay while it was in this position he actually succeeded in making it fly against the wind %o rapldly that he was unable to keep up with it and was obliged to let go the ‘string. Affer proceeding for some sixty vards one of the trailing strings became entangled in the shrubbery, and the equilibrium being thus disturbed, the kite fell to the ground, But the Incident furnished a striking fllustration of the correctness of Herr Lillenthal's de- ductlon: . It Is an error to suppose that the flight of birds is rendered materially easler by their corporeal structure. It has been imagined that thelr hollow bones and quills, flled with warm air, diminish thelr specific gray- ity, but they bear a quite inconsiderable proportion to the general mass. Their fea- tures give them the appearance of greater size, and therefore of -lighter welght, but when denuded of these a pound of bird looks no larger than a pound of beef. Observations within the dally reach of overy one prove that the wind exerclses a strong upward pressure upon all concave surfaces. Take tho familiar example of linen hung upon a line to dry; a fresh breeze will keep It during mest of the time in A position considerably ubove the horl- zontal, which presents so familiar & phe nomenon a3 to need ap description. Under the pressure of the air the fabric naturally assumes a form coneAve beneath and convex above, and Wothen raised by the wind to an angle cunsiflerably above the horizontal plane. 9} 3 NO¥Bi: MOTIVE POWER. Having demmstrated the practicability of sailing andt méaring, Herr Lilienthal has sought, in higirecent experiments, to roggh a practical aolution of the problems of actual flight. The first difculty to be overcome was the disqpvery of a suitable motor, with out which all efforts to fly would be hope- less. If we gstymate, the ordinary weight of the flying anpagatus, we have a fotal burden of at lenst zq}ia pounds to be raised and sup- ported simply' by aerial resistance. It Is calculated that to overcome the attraction of gravity in suth a case requires a force of at least one and’ one-quarter horse power, which no man fs able to resist for more than a very short time, as, for example, in run ning up an easy flight of stairs. This Is the conclusive argument against “air veloci- pedes” and all contrivances to enable man to sustain himself in the air by his own ex- ertions. Auxillary power fs indispensable. With such an apparatus as Herr Lillenthal's steam engines and electrle moters are not readily available, but he conceived the in- genious Idea of employing, as a motive forc the vapor of liquid carbonic acid, which, under ordinary atmospheric pressure, boils at a temperature far below that at which mercury freezes, Four years ago it was a mera chemical curlosity; now it has become an article of commerce, and is furnished in strong wrought fron flasks or tubes en- closed In a jacket of the same metal to guard against explosions, at the very moder- ate price of about 8 cents a pound. The casket is much more costly than the jewel; the flasks are worth a dozen times as much as their contents, The engine devised by Herr Lillenthal required no fire, nor boller, nor stoam-chest; only a diminutive cylinder with the requisite valye arrangements, which may be readily worke(l by hand, and a small re ervoir of the liquid acid lying close beside it. The one first constructed was of two- horse power, with a receiver to contain enough. carbonic. acid to last for two hours, and was attacled to the front of the fying apparatus. The whole contrivance, with the necossary machinery to Impart motion to the wings, added less than twenty-five pounds to the weight, and this will probably be reduced in future by the use of some alloy of aluminum, instead of iron, in the manufacture of the heavier portions. The wings were also fitted with rotary pinions, constructed on the principles already fully indicated in this article, and capable of automatic action under the pressure of the air. The first experiments with this appara- tus were rather too successful, at least in demonstrating the power of the engine. Un- fortunately the inventor had underestimated the energy of ‘his motor, which acted with such unexpected vigor that the winzs were broken and the modification thus shown to be necessary will require some time for their completion. It is only by a series of trials that the proper relations between the various parts of the machine can be deter- mined. Herr Lilienthal confidently expects, however, eventually to solve the problem in this way. Herr Lilienthal's‘experiments have shown it to be practicable for man to sail or soar in the air. His future researches may prove that it is possible even to fly for a Ilimitéd distanco and under favorable cir- cumstances. | s VERNO s g UNTROD BY HUMAN FOOT.
