Stalling tests on a Blenheim

G. E. Pringle (H. M. Stationery Office, 1939)

In extension of earlier flight tests it was required to investigate how accidental stalling and spinning of a Blenheim is affected by the setting of flaps, engine gills and throttles. The behaviour of the aircraft was ...
Prediction of undercarriage reactions

G. Temple (H. M. Stationery Office, 1944)

The object of this report is to give a connected account of the methods which have been developed at the Royal Aircraft Establishment by Messrs. D. D. Lindsay, R. G. Thorne and S. A. Makovski for the prediction of undercarriage ...
Effect on hinge moment of fitting strips near aileron trailing edge, of increasing aileron chord and of extending aileron to wing tip with an appendix on pressures over surface of control fitted with strips

A. S. Batson; J. H. Warsap (H. M. Stationery Office, 1940)

To find a method Of modifying ailerons so that a machine may be more responsive in roll. (1) Hinge moment was measured on a 1/2.25 scale 'Hurricane' aileron with the following modifications:- (a) Strips (depth 0.02 in. and ...
Effect on aerofoil drag of boundary-layer suction behind a shock wave

Fage, A.; R. F. Sargent (H. M. Stationery Office, 1943)

To measure, at Mach numbers near the critical value, the reduction in drag due to boundarydayei suction on the upper surface of an aerofoil. To determine whether this reduction can be obtained with an economic use of power. ...
On the stressing of polygonal tubes with particular reference to the torsion of tapered tubes of trapezoidal section

H. L. Cox (H. M. Stationery Office, 1942)

A general method for stressing polygonal tubes is described and applied to the torsion of parallel and tapered tubes of rectangular and trapezoidal section. It is assumed that the shape of the tube is maintained by a limited ...
The calculation of aerodynamic loading on surfaces of any shape

Falkner, V. M. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1943)

The object of the report is to establish a routine method for the calculation of aerodynamic loads on wings of arbitrary shape.
The buckling of a long curved panel under axial compression

D. M. A. Leggett (H. M. Stationery Office, 1942)

In modern aeroplane design a detailed knowledge of the behaviour of thin panels is very necessary. The problem of flat panels may be regarded as largely solved. This is not true, however, of curved panels and the object ...
An orifice method of producing a high velocity stream

Binnie, A.M. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1940)

Earlier papers (Binnie 1938 and 1940) have dealt with the uniformity of the stream produced by a venturi flume and with the possibility of employing this device for testing model seaplane floats. If the velocity of the ...
Abstracts of papers published externally

Unknown author (H. M. Stationery Office, 1939)

CONTENTS. The Continuous Beam. The Large Deflections of a Thin Circular Ring. Theoretical Discharge of Air from Ports in a Duct. The Estimation of Pipe Delivery from Pitot-Tube Measurements. The Influence of Wall Oscillations, ...
A general theory of the autogyro

Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1926)

An autogyro obtains remarkably high lift forces from a system of freely rotating blades and it is important to develop a theory which will explain the behaviour of an autogyro and will provide a method of estimating the ...
Flight tests of a falcon fitted with an irving flap

J. Cohen; H. P. Fraser (H. M. Stationery Office, 1938)

It has been stated that flaps for landing a clean, heavily loaded aeroplane, should provide a range of settings over which the lift is constant but the drag variable within wide limits, with low operating forces. The Irving ...
The calculation of the total and skin friction drags of bodies of revolution at zero incidence

A. D. Young (H. M. Stationery Office, 1939)

By a modification of the method used to calculate the profile drag of aerofoils a method has been developed for calculating the drag of smooth bodies of revolution. This method has been applied to three bodies at zero ...
General investion into the characteristics of the c.30 autogiro

P. A. Hufton; A. E. Woodward; F. J. Bigg; J. A. Beavan (H. M. Stationery Office, 1939)

The present report on the performance of a gyro plane contains the first really satisfactory set of full scale data to be obtained in this country, and affords a valuable means of checking a body of theoretical investigation ...
The calculation of the profile drag of aerofoils

H. B. Squire; A. D. Young (H. M. Stationery Office, 1937)

Owing to improvements in aerodynamic design it is desirable to be able to predict profile drag accurately. A method of calculating the profile drag of aerofoils is developed and is applied to investigate the drag of a flat ...
Galerkin's method in mechanics and differential equations

Duncan, W. J. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1937)

The method to be described here is attributed to the Russian investigator V. G. Galerkin, whose original papers are inaccessible to the present writer. His knowledge of the method is derived from a description given in a ...
Cooling of aircraft engines with special reference to ethylene glycol radiators enclosed in ducts

Meredith, F. W. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1935)

The recent increase in the speed of aeroplanes has brought the question of cooling drag into prominence and forced the application of the principle of low velocity cooling. An analysis of the performance of a cooling system ...
Full scale trials on Scion M.3 with a gouge flap

J. Cohen (H. M. Stationery Office, 1936)

Under review
The effect of blade twist on the characteristics of the c.30 autogiro

J. A. Beavan; Lock, C. N. H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1936)

An analysis of the blade motion and force characteristics of the standard Cierva C.30 autogiro rotor is made, taking into account the torsional flexibility of the blades. The results are applied to the steady motion and ...
On the flow of air behind an inclined flat plate of infinite span

Fage, A.; F. C. Johansen (H. M. Stationery Office, 1927)

The general form of the flow behind an infinitely long thin flat plate inclined at a large angle to a fluid stream of infinite extent has been known for many years past. The essential features of the motion are illustrated ...
The reaction on a wing whose angle of incidence is changing rapidly. wind tunnel experiments with a short period recording balance

W. S. Farren (H. M. Stationery Office, 1935)

A balance has been developed in the Aeronautics Laboratory at Cambridge by which the reaction on a wing whose angle of incidence is increasing or decreasing rapidly can be recorded. The reactions have been measured on eight ...
