Abstract

Engine friction will continue to affect the efficiency of vehicle power plants as long as we have vehicles that use their own prime movers. A consequence of this, of course, is the fact that the truly “adiabatic” power plant needs rather more than an insulated combustion chamber. What is not so certain is the extent to which engine friction could be reduced and whether that reduction when achieved is worth all the effort.

Abstract

“Introduction to Helicopter Aerodynamics” is written in a simple and easily understandable way. The subject of helicopter performance, sometimes obscured by the complexity of the mathematical analysis, is here explained on the physical grounds and the necessary formulae are evolved using mathematics on the level of an average practical engineer.

Abstract

THE present paper gives, in abbreviated form, the theory of blade motion and of static and dynamic stability of single‐rotor helicopters. Limitations of space do not permit of full discussion and the article should be taken as only an introduction to the somewhat complex problems of helicopter stability and control.

Abstract

THE continual development of helicopter rotor systems has so far resulted in the use of about six main types, and it will be of value briefly to recapitulate their advantages and disadvantages in order to obtain a balanced picture against which the stiff‐hinged rotor can be judged.

Abstract

IT has often been remarked in this journal that, of all the branches of the engineering profession, production engineers are the least articulate. The recent conference at Cranfield accepted this as a regrettable fact and proceeded to discuss the reasons for it, and how to increase the interchange of information between production engineers. In a majority among those attending the conference were members of A.S.L.I.B., but there were a number of production engineers, although these were naturally drawn from the firms most fully aware of the value of information services, and so the conference was to some extent preaching to the converted.

Abstract

A new departure from their normal range of products is being made by Fothergill & Harvey (Sales) Ltd, who are now marketing a mat of chopped glass strands designed for use in reinforced plastics. The mat, known as Tygamat, consists of short glass fibres in random distribution to give equal strength in all directions.
