A series of requirements for deck-landing aircraft has been proposed and the suggested programme of tests has been carried out on two Naval aircraft. The results of these tests are given in this report, and their significance ...
Strain measurements in flight involve considerably more work than on ground tests and should be restricted to problems which cannot be solvedby ground tests. Limited experience available suggests that for most flight work ...
Three annular aerofoils suitable for use as short fan cowls on turbofan engines of high bypass ratio have been tested at zero incidence over a range of subsonic Mach numbers and also in static conditions. Comparisons are ...
The British European Airways Clear-Air Gust Research Unit was formed, with the financial support of the Ministry of Supply, to investigate the problem of clear-air turbulence at high altitude over Europe. The aircraft were ...
The present tests were conducted on aluminium alloy plates in endwise compression, with varying conditions of edge support, to provide data on the buckling stress and post-buckling behaviour of aircraft skins. All the ...
A thick-walled tube was subjected to an axial load and a radial temperature distribution which caused thermal stresses. The creep strains and the eventual rupture times were observed and compared with conventional creep ...
