 Lawrence Hargrave quotes 
Suggest Revision: And from a poise at this station the plane may swoop down, at great disadvantage if close to the back of the wave, at various slopes and directions till it cuts into the air that is being raised by the face of the following wave, which again enables it to resume its velocity.
 
 Lawrence Hargrave quotes 
Suggest Revision: As to the effect of the wave on the air, we will suppose the water to be quite flat and the air motionless, a heavy undulation comes on the scene, it has to pass, so it pushes the air up with its face, letting it fall again as its back glides onwards.

 Lawrence Hargrave quotes

 Lawrence Hargrave quotes 
Suggest Revision: The most ordinary conditions for observing sailing birds are then the wind and sea are both aft.
 
 Lawrence Hargrave quotes 
Suggest Revision: The plane is simply abstracting the power stored in the wave by a distant gale, and using it to counteract gravity. And if the work be continued long enough, or a multitude of planes be continually drawing on the reservoir of power, the wave must inevitably be flattened.
 
 Lawrence Hargrave quotes
