Francis Herbert Wenham
__NOTOC__ Francis Herbert Wenham (1824, Kensington – 1908) was a British marine engineer who studied the problem of human flight and wrote a perceptive and influential academic paper, which he presented to the first meeting of the Royal Aeronautical Society in London in 1866. He was the son of a British army surgeon. Wenham's trailblazing report, "Aerial Locomotion," was published in the Society's journal and reprinted in widely distributed aeronautical publications in the 1890s, including Octave Chanute's "Progress In Flying Machines".

Superposed wings increased the lifting area and avoided the structural problems ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
