The last chapter is dedicated to aircraft engines. Numerous formulae and tables. The author makes a point that this branch of engineering is rather new (in 1915) so there are many unknowns and theories may contradict each other nevertheless he provides a sound fundation for those engineers who want to design airplanes.
