Turville's Aeroplane Bicycle Soars Against Wind Currents

The article chronicles Turville's advances in winged bicycle flight, noting his realization that soaring birds can advance into strong wind without flapping. It covers his early experiments on a hill, a near-disastrous first flight, and his evolution to a lighter, single-roof aeroplane with hydrogen balloons for buoyancy. The design centers the center of gravity under the wing, reduces air resistance, and enables sustained gliding, though practical use remains limited.
