Abstract
The aerodynamic principles of flight are described from the paint of v iew of the way they scale from the largest full-size aircraft to the s mallest flying models. Particular attention is paid to the difficultie s encountered by small, slow flying machines. (C) 1997 American Associ ation of Physics Teachers.
