Abstract
Abstract This paper contains a general account of the scientific principles of long-distance air navigation, including dead reckoning, astronomical observations, and radio methods. It has been prepared at the invitation of the Aeronautic Division and is addressed to those who may be interested in a broad way in the problems and possibilities of commercial aeronautics. Hence it has not been thought necessary to enter into detail except where the methods presented are believed to be new. As a guide to those who will wish to pursue the subject farther, the paper concludes with a fairly complete outline of the most recent sources of technical information.
