Aircraft
Tracer Bullet 00-4
This compilation provides references to a variety of
materials and sources in the collections of the Library of Congress
that pertain to the history, present status, and uses of aircraft.
An aircraft is any machine or device capable of atmospheric flight.
Aircraft can be classified as fixed-wing, rotary-wing, flapping-wing,
and lighter-than-air. The first three classes are heavier-than-air
vehicles. Four forces act on a heavier-than-air vehicle in flight
through the atmosphere: weight, aerodynamic lift, drag, and thrust.
Unlike a lighter-than-air vehicle such as a balloon or blimp, whose
weight is balanced by an upward buoyancy force, a heavier-than-air
aircraft must be propelled and maintained in the air. The scope
of this guide is limited to heavier-than-air aircraft. For lighter-than-air
aircraft refer to related Tracer Bullet TB 00-5 Balloons and
Airships. Another related Tracer Bullet is TB 00-3 Aerodynamics
(Mechanics of Flight). Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography,
this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put
the reader "on target."
