Abstract
In the development of aerodynamics three main periods can be distinguished: a first period, from antiquity to the publication of Newton’s Principia (1687), a second period, from that epoch to the paper read by Lanchester before the Birmingham Natural History and Philosophical Society (1894), and a third period, from that epoch to the present time.
