There are three practical aspects to the problem of man powered flight: aerodynamics, physiology and engineering. There are many more impracticable aspects to man powered flight, including the philosophical, the fanatical and the sceptical, which unfortunately have not yet been included in the lectures of the Man Powered Aircraft Group but which will no doubt find their places.
The engineering aspects are fortunately fairly clearly defined, although there is likely to be a slight threat of interference with the aerodynamic problems.
The second lecture given to the Man Powered Aircraft Group–on 29th January 1960.
