In studying anct comparing various theories for the determination of the distribution of loading on wings, Garner has given values for the lift slope of several families of swept-back and delta wings deduced from several ...
The maintenance of laminar-flow wings involves two problems:-- (1) The prevention of deterioration in the surface itself (e.g. cracking of the paint or filler, increase in roughness or waviness, etc., whether due to ...
(a) Purpose of Note.--To draw attention to certain restrictions on the use of the 'Southwell plot' to estimate critical loads in cases differing in conditions from those which the method was first proposed. (b) Range of ...
A re-assessment of a generally accepted theory of parachute stability has been made with the object of clarifying the assumptions used in its derivation and exposing deficiencies in previous treatments. Some new, equations ...
Existing theories for the Stanton tube are critically reviewed, and the paper then outlines a simple method which predicts the calibration function at high Reynolds numbers to the right order of magnitude.
A description is given of the three-dimensional shock-wave recorder which has been used to investigate wind-tunnel interference on a sting-mounted wing having 50 deg of sweepback. Diagrams of the shock-wave patterns round ...
