Lecture on Artificial Flight Given by request at the Academy of Natural Sciences

"Lecture on Artificial Flight" by William G. Krueger is a presentation given to the Academy of Natural Sciences about the possibility of human flight. The lecture walks through the history of ways of flying, from old stories to the flying contraptions already made, and breaks down what makes them work or not work. The lecture talks about why understanding how air works is super important for making flying machines, using birds as an example. The hope is that new inventions will allow humans to make effective and safe flying machines. The lecture closes with how flight could change the world when it becomes reality.
