An algebraic solution is given for the problem of ascertaining the probability of finding any number of fatigue cracks in a fleet of aircraft at any specific point in time. By a simple approximation concerning the fatigue ...
This Report describes a method of calculating the ground effect on the longitudinal characteristics of a slender wing when the span/height ratio is small. The results obtained are compared with those obtained from Gersten's ...
Details are given of some of the methods of solving the flutter equations which have been programmed in Mercury Autocode at the R.A.E. Included is a method of following the variation of critical speed with a linear variation ...
An attempt is made to estimate pressure distribution, tyre deflection and lift on a fully aquaplaning smooth tyre assuming an idealised non-viscous flow in front of the tyre followed by Stokes flow under the tyre. The ...
