Description: Stability Of Aeroplanes, by Orville Wright, 8pp extract, removed from a damaged copy of Annual Report Of The Board Of Regents Of The Smithsonian Institution For The Year Ended June 30 1914. The author's presentation at the Franklin Institute, Wednesday, May 20, 1914, when he received the Institute's Elliott Cresson Medal in recognition of his epoch-making work in establishing on a practical basis the science and art of aviation. From the opening paragraph, "The subject of stability of aeroplanes is too broad to permit of a discussion of all of its phases in one evening. I shall, therefore, confine myself more particularly to a few phases of the fore-and-aft or longitudinal equilibrium. Although in learning to fly the beginner finds most difficulty in mastering the lateral control, it is his lack of knowledge of certain features of the fore-and-aft equilibrium that leads to most of the serious accidents." Housed in a protective mylar report cover.
