Reference excerpt

Founded on August 31, 1881, the Deutsche Verein zur Förderung der Luftschifffahrt, (Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics), was the first German aviation association.

Founding The motivation for the association arose from the experience of the massive French military balloon units during the Siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871. The association's objects were to promote airship flight by all means, as well as to work on solving the problem of building steerable airships, and especially to support a permanent research station.

Journal

In 1882 the association started printing Zeitschrift des Deutschen Vereins zur Förderung der Luftschifffahrt, which was the first German technical aviation journal. In 1888 they printed under the title Zeitschrift für Luftschifffahrt (Journal of airshipflight) and the Vienese flight association Wiener Flugtechnische Verein became co-editors. In 1892 the title changed to Zeitschrift für Luftschifffahrt und Physik der Atmosphäre (Journal of airshipflight and atmospheric physics). In 1900 the association adopted the journal Illustrierte Aeronautische Mitteilungen (illustrated aeronautical reports), with the subtitle Deutsche Zeitschrift für Luftschifffahrt (German journal of airshipflight). In 1903, after Germany saw the founding of numerous other aeronautical associations, it changed its name to Berliner Verein für Luftschifffahrt (Berlin association of airshipflight).

Membership and activities Among the members were: the airship pioneers Paul Haenlein, Friedrich Hermann Wölfert; the meteorologists Richard Aßmann, Arthur Berson and Reinhard Süring; the airship constructor Hans Bartsch von Sigsfeld and the flight researcher Otto Lilienthal.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany)

In research: Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1881 establishments in Germany, 19th-century German aviation, Aeronautics organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Society for the Promotion of Aeronautics (Germany) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
