This report describes a frost-point hygrometer suitable for measuring the water-vapour content of the air in supersonic wind tunnels at any stagnation pressure within their present range of operatiom It uses CO2 as a coolant ...
An analysis has been made of the full-scale measured drag and lift performance, data available on the Sunderland, Solent, Shetland, Sealand, Saro E.6/44 and Princess boat seaplanes, which all have hulls of fairly orthodox ...
Tests have been made on a large four-engined flying boat (Solent Mk. 3), to determine the hydrodynamic performance in sheltered water and in open-sea swells. The sheltered water characteristics were investigated over a ...
This report describes an investigation into the hydrodynamic qualities of a Sunderland flying-boat hull, weight 50,000 lb, fitted with a main-step fairing of fairing ratio 17 : 1. The fairing was equipped with ventilating ...
Summary. This report gives further experimental results for compressible turbulent boundary layers with air injection. The experimental arrangement is similar to that used by Jeromin (R. & M. 3526) but, by a slight ...
The wind-tunnel tests on cambered gothic wings reported in Reports and Memoranda No. 3211 have been extended to include the effects of changes in design lift coefficient and of changes in spanwise camber without changes ...
Transient pressures have been measured on the upper surface of a narrow delta wing when it passed through newly sharp-edged upward and downward gusts. Some characteristics of the transient behaviour of the vortex flow on ...
A comprehensive simulation of a slender-wing supersonic transport aircraft during approach and landing has been flown by a number of pilots from airlines and test establishments. The aim of the simulation was to obtain ...
An axially-symmetrical supersonic fully-expanded jet of diameter 0.75 in. was investigated by pitot- and static-tube traverses in the region from the exit to 100 diameters downstream. The investigation is supplementary to ...
