Abstract
Summary An appreciation is made of recent experimental and project work of relevance to the design of a very light weight aircraft capable of being taken off and flown by two men. The emphasis is on the aerodynamic problems involved. It is concluded that, although there are many difficulties still needing attention, all the information supports previous assertions that flight by muscular power alone is possible. The merits and de-merits of a particular projected design are studied, and its performance and stability assessed.
