Part I - Tests on the Spitfire I. Part II - Tests on the Spiteful (F. 1/43). Part III - Tests on Cabins for the Spiteful. Part IV - Tests on the Attacker (E. 10/44). Part V - Tests on the Mustang I. This report describes ...
Tests have been made in the Royal Aircraft Establishment High-Speed Wind Tunnel on six wings, all of the same plan form (aspect ratio 3.5, taper ratio 0.4, quarter-chord sweep 40 deg) and thickness/chord ratio (10 per cent) ...
The semi-empirical 'equivalent profile' method of W. P. Jones (1948) is extended to the case of an aerofoil with an oscillating control. The oscillatory hinge-moment derivatives for such an aerofoil-control combination in ...
An account is given of some experimental work undertaken to test the theory of operation of a hot-wire anemometer with radio-frequency heating, which has been given in a previous paper.
The hull launching tank has been built in order that systematic measurements of impact pressures can be made on large model seaplane hulls to supplement full scale tests, and to cover conditions of impact which would be ...
Hydrofoil struts, such as might be used for supporting a model in hydrodynamic experiments, are liable to failure through divergence or flutter. This makes the problem of designing a satisfactory strut particularly difficult ...
This paper describes an investigation into the feasibility of protecting compressor blades against ice accretion by the method of surface heating. Experiments with surface-heated inlet guide vanes and stator blades were ...
Part 1. The subject of the present note is the increase of the drag of an aerofoil which arises from the presence of limited shock waves when the forward speed lies between the so-called shock stalling speed and the velocity ...
