Summary "Flying Machines Today" by William D. Ennis is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices associated with aviation, exploring both the theoretical underpinnings and the rapid advancements in flying technology of the time. The content is largely aimed at readers with varying levels of technical knowledge, including those without specialized backgrounds, thus making the subject of aviation more accessible. At the start of the work, Ennis discusses the allure and danger of flight, emphasizing humanity's long-standing fascination with the idea of soaring like birds. The opening portion touches on the history of aviation, from mythical references to Icarus to the successful flights of the Wright brothers in the early 1900s. The author highlights the public's nascent interest in personal aerial travel and the intrinsic risks associated with aviation, driving home the need for scientific understanding and careful design in the field. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of various types of flying machines and the challenges they present in terms of safety and engineering. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
