Abstract
SOME phases of fore-and-aft or longitudinal equilibrium in flying are discussed by Dr. Orville Wright in a recent publication of the Smithsonian Institution, entitled “Stability of Aeroplanes.” Although a beginner finds most difficulty in mastering the lateral control, it is his lack of knowledge of certain features of the fore-and-aft equilibrium which leads to most of the serious accidents.
