Q.14: Read the passage below and answer the questions as follows 1x4 = 4 Marks

The successful experiments, started in the nineteenth century. Dr. Thomas Young was
the first to discover the ‘lifting’ property of a cambered surface compared to a flat
surface. Another aeromodelling genius was John String fellow, who made, in 1842, a
small spring ‘Operated model,’ followed by a number of different and bigger models,
powered by 2-stroke and steam engines. Another great name amongst the pioneers of
aeromodelling is Alphonse Penand, who invented models fitted with tail surfaces and
wings with dihedral angles. This gave substantial flight stability to aero models, which till
this time had lasted for a brief duration until this time. Then came the era of miniature
petrol-driven engines. In 1878, Professor Langley built a petrol-driven model called
‘Aerodrome No.5’. This revolutionized the concept of aeromodelling, as there was now
an ideal power plant small enough for the requirement available to the enthusiasts.

i. Name the first person to discover the ‘lifting’ property of a cambered surface compared
to a flat surface.
