✦ Synopsis

paper considers the effect of radiation pressure acting upon a moving, resistive sheet; the analysis is specifically concerned with the drag and levitation forces resulting when the sheet attains velocities approaching the velocity of a plane wave of light in vacuum. Relevant graphical results are presented.
