Notes the importance of wind velocity in calculating an aircraft's angle of incidence of practical purposes. Argues that the angle can be calculated from surface area, weight and speed. Concludes:
Rule.—The angle of incidence is fixed by area weight, and speed alone. It varies directly as the weight, and inversely as the area and speed, though not in exact ratio.
Appears to be among Wilbur Wright's earliest aero publications.
