Structural Fundamentals
TOO late for a report to be included in this issue the Royal Aeronautical Society held a Section Lecture, or rather group of lectures, on Aircraft Design Philosophy. This was in…
Progress in Research on High Speed Flow: A Survey of Advances and Problems in the Study of High Speed Flow Part II.—Transonic Flow
Maurice HoltIN the first of these articles it was pointed out that normal supersonic flow can be described theoretically, to a first approximation, by the linearized equation of motion. This…
Analysis of Isothermal Variable Area Flow
I. Carl Romer, AH B.S. Bulent Cambel.In this paper the isothermal flow of perfect gases is discussed following the gas dynamic approach of applying the continuity, momentum and energy equations. Flow functions for…
Statical Indeterminacy of a Structure: A Study of a Necessary Topological Condition Relating to the Degree of Statical Indeterminacy of a Skeletal Structure
J.C. de C. Henderson, W.G. BickleyA SKELETAL structure is defined as one which can be ideally represented by linear (one‐dimensional) members appropriately connected at point nodes. The members are not necessarily…
Anglo‐American Conference on Combustion: A Report on the Conference Organized Jointly by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
D.B. SpaldingAS was announced in the June 1955 issue of Aircraft Engineering, this conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts in June, and again in London in October.
International Colloquium on Fatigue of Metals: Report of the Meeting held in Stockholm, May 25–27, 1955
B.R. NotonFATIGUE of aircraft structures has recently become an important subject, particularly during the last two years, and many research organizations and aircraft manufacturers are now…
Conference on Non‐destructive Testing: A Report on the Meeting Organized by the Society of Licensed Aircraft Engineers held in London on September 3, 1955
FOLLOWING the talk given by Mr William C. Hitt of the Douglas Aircraft Company last June, which was reported in Aircraft Engineering for July, the S.L.A.E. organized a meeting at…
The Library Shelf
This book, sponsored by the Taft Fund of the University of Cincinnati, is not a text‐book of Hydrodynamics in the accepted sense: it is not a book that a university student would…
American Experience with Magnesium Alloys: Some Details of Recent Work on Aircraft Primary Structures in Magnesium
H. Wilkin PerryAN all‐magnesium aircraft has been built in the United States by East Coast Aeronautics Inc. under contract to the Air Force Air Development Center. It is the latest in a series…
Polynomial Characteristic Equations: Criteria for Quadratic Factors to be Positive
J. Morris, J.W. HeadIN the investigation of stability problems in physical science it is essential that ‘stability criteria’ be available to ensure that the characteristic equation, which is usually…
Research Reports and Memoranda
Under this heading are published regularly abstracts of all Reports and Memoranda of the Aeronautical Research Council, Reports and Technical Memoranda of the United States…
Tools for the Workshop
The heat generated in the grinding of metal necessitates a constant flow of coolant over the part being ground. This prevents the operator from hearing or seeing when the proper…
Auxiliary Equipment
The Kollsman Instrument Corporation system KS‐54 was designed to provide a means of controlling passenger cabin pressures which would incorporate features found to be desirable in…
Month in the Patent Office
To reduce the surface friction of a body moving in a fluid the skin is formed with regularly spaced cup‐shaped indentations 2 which, as shown, are of generally oval form, and…
U.S. Patent Specifications
In an aircraft, a gas turbine having a truncated tail cone over which turbine effluent flows, the small end of said truncated tail cone being open and directed rearwardly, and a…
