This report describes an investigation into the effects of Reynolds number on the flow through two dimensional cascades of the diffusing type. Particular emphasis has been. placed on the causes of high loss especially at ...
A method is presented of analysing experimental curves obtained in flight when an aircraft is disturbed longitudinally by a suitable elevator input and performs mainly short-period oscillations. Determination of frequency, ...
An analytical study has been made of the effect of such parameters as wing loading, aspect ratio, thrust-weight ratio, and number of engines, on the takeoff performance of fixed wing aircraft. Expressions are derived for ...
Griffith's proposal to achieve vertical take-off and landing at the usual attitude demands sea-level thrust considerably greater than the weight and continuously rotatable through 90 deg. A study of the steady states of ...
An analysis of the drag and pressure measurements made in subsonic wind-tunnel tests on two annular aerofoils is described, The relation between the design pressure distribution in incompressible flow and the pressure ...
This paper presents a comparison of pressure distributions obtained from theory and from wind-tunnel tests on two swept-back wings at various incidences and Mach numbers. The first wing, having NACA 65A004, sections had a ...
The lateral-directional stability of a single-rotor helicopter is investigated by solving the equations of motion for a typical aircraft. It is found that the motion has three constituent parts, two subsidences and an ...
The analysis of R.A.E. Report No. Aero. 1840 has been extended to cover the lift slope of aerofoils of small aspect ratio and of fins in place upon an aeroplane. The charts of that report for the estimation of lifting ...
The general theory of longitudinal stability and control for a single-rotor helicopter is presented in a form similar to that for fixed-wing aircraft. It is shown to be possible to establish for the helicopter in forward ...
The static-pressure distribution on the surface of a thin delta wing of aspect ratio 1.616 was measured at several incidences in subsonic flow, and the results were analysed to investigate the development with incidence ...
A simplified analysis is presented of the subsonic non-periodic flow past symmetrical blunt-trailing-edge sections at zero incidence. The pressure distribution is determined, with the base pressure as parameter, by an ...
An analysis is presented of measurements made at RAE in 1957-1959 on a series of delta wings. Lift and drag have been measured by strain-gauge balance at Mach numbers between 1.4 and 2.8. On some of the wings surface ...
The present position of the theory of supersonic turbulent base flow is reviewed and arguments are put forward which suggest that the theory of Korst and others is incorrect in certain respects. The analysis of two-dimensional ...
Summary. An anthropometric survey of limited scope was undertaken in October and November 1966, involving 200 Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircrew. The 44 measurements taken on each subject were mainly those used in the ...

The survey was undertaken to provide up-to-date information on the body measurements of Royal Air Force aircrew. This information is required for cockpit workspace and functional-clothing-sizing studies. A team of two ...
