Camber and twist is applied to the problem of reducing the drag due to incidence, of thin triangular or swept-back wings, at supersonic speeds, with subsonic leading edges and supersonic or sonic trailing edges. Two cases ...
An account is given of a full-scale investigation into the stresses occurring in the wing members of a Sunderland flying boat during landing impacts. It is found that the main dynamic effect is caused by the wing oscillating ...
Flight measurements have been made of the phugoid motion of the Hoverfly Mk. I helicopter, following an arbitrary longitudinal displacement of the control, the latter being returned to its initial position and held fixed. ...
Ground clearance requirements are considered in relation to take-off, treating lift-off as a dynamic manoeuvre. It is shown that ground clearance is defined by conditions about one to two seconds after lift-off. Simple ...
An integrated analytical treatment is presented which deals with the equilibrium and stability of the flexible aeroplane in flight. The analysis embodies those methods currently employed to investigate the behaviour of the ...
As an aid to discussions on the future provision of meteorological forecasting services for civil transport operations, an approximate assessment is made of the effects of changes in the accuracy with which en-route and ...
