AERIAL NAVIGATION.
IMPORTANT PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 3. (Received Jan. 3, at 10.50 p.m.) The Times, in an article on aeronautics in 1910, declares that flying is largely empirical. The ship, the bird, the submarine, and the dirigible all inherit a tendency to keep the right side up, but the aeroplane does nothing of the kind. It turns turtle on the slightest provocation, and the problem of equilibrium must be solved after much laborious scientific investigation of each of its component problems before the aeroplane can rank as a scientific machine. PILOT'S CERTIFICATES. LONDON, January 3-. (Received Jan. 4, at 1.15 a.m.) I'ifty pilots' certificates were granted to British airmen in 1910.
