ResumoA SERIES of important and valuable experiments are being carried out at Chalais-Meudon by MM. Legrand and Gaudard with the object of testing propellers, while actually in use, on a flying machine, and of studying the action of the air on planes in flight. The machine used is a biplane specially built for the purpose at the laboratory; the propeller in front is run off a 60 horse-power Renault motor; the planes are staggered; and the total weight, including the pilot, is 780 kilograms.
