THE NEED FOR PLANNED RESEARCH
IF we were asked the essential requisite for British aeroplane design to retain its commanding lead over the two enemy countries, we would reply, “Research; more research and then…
Models in Aeroplane Design: Requirements for the Study of Strength, Stiffness and Aerodynamic Properties
J. TaylorTHE increasing size of modern aeroplanes leads to an increasing difficulty in the performance of full scale tests for the determination of strength and stiffness characteristics…
A German General‐Purpose Type: A Single‐Engined Land or Seaplane Designed Mainly for Torpedo Carrying
ALTHOUGH the Arado Ar 95 is not a very modern type, it has certain features which make it of considerable general interest. It has not been seen to any extent round the shores of…
The D.V.L. Hub Dynamometer: A Description of the Design and Operation of an Instrument Utilizing the Film‐Scratching Method
E. Gilbert, W. UlrichWITH the development of the high‐altitude aero‐engine the creation of a reliable and simple means of measurement for the determination of the power output in flight becomes a…
The Prediction of Performance: The Estimation of Performance by Means of the Speed Polar Diagram and the Principal Characteristics
Wieslaw StepniewskiThe aim of this article is to determine the simplest and clearest relations existing between the principal characteristics of aeroplanes and their performances.
Faults in Light‐Metal Castings: Some Observations on the Influence of Casting Faults on the Strength of Light‐Alloy Cast Components
F. Bollenrath, E. SchiedtSOME faulty castings of aluminium—and magnesium—alloys were partly statically loaded and partly dynamically loaded in imitation of operational conditions, up to the point of…
Materials of Aircraft Construction
Major P.L. TeedMAN'S increasing power over the physical world has been largely due to his ever‐growing knowledge of the chemistry and physics of materials. From the end of the Stone Age until…
Research Reports and Memoranda
The distributions of mean velocity U in the turbulent How of a fluid flowing under pressure through a straight pipe of annular cross‐section is calculated on the basis of the…
The Jigging of Modern Airframes: A Review of Some of the Methods Used by British and Foreign Manufacturers
II—FUSELAGE JIGS THE type of jig required for the erection of a main component depends primarily upon the machine's construction (stressed‐skin or girder) and secondarily upon the…
Factory Lighting in War‐time
TO those who properly understand the effect on industrial production of efficient lighting, it has come as no surprise that the Departmental Committee on lighting in factories has…
U.S. Patent Specifications
In an aircraft body of truncated but otherwise streamline form, terminating in an opening defining a generally vertical plane extending transversely of the direction of flight, a…
