* The resistance is really less than this in consequence of the rarefaction the air experiences. But the above answers for the comparison which we are going to make further on.

* This equation was given by Kargl and Zeuner in 1874

† This construction will be explained further on.

* Of course the varying velocity of the wing's motion must also be considered when a complete solution is attempted.
