Summary:

The simplest known methods for calculating airplane performances are those of Everling (Zeitschrift fur Flugtechnik und Motorluftschiffahrt, 1916, pages 125), and Kann (Technische Berichte, Vol. 1, No. 6, pp. 231). Both methods have this feature in common, that they express the particular quantity which is to be determined (time of climb, speed, et cetera) by a single formula. Thus, by using Everling's airplane calculation tables, we are able to find related values (e.g. gliding coefficient, ceiling, and total weight per horsepower), by a very simple graphical methods.
