lins a Limit Been Reached? Broadly speaking, the aerody namie law under which the restat- ance of the air increases, not directly as the speed, but as the square of the speed, seemed to point to an early arrival at a speed beyond which any increase could
be obtained by n wildly ex only travagant increase of power. The existence of that law is indispu Itable, and it is therefore obvious that the design of the aircraft, and the increase of engine power without proportional increase of size or weight, have combined, not to evade or disprove the law, but to show that in the past there were faults in design which have now been overcome.
