  • A general theory of the autogyro 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1926)
    An autogyro obtains remarkably high lift forces from a system of freely rotating blades and it is important to develop a theory which will explain the behaviour of an autogyro and will provide a method of estimating the ...
  • A generalised type of Jankowski aerofoil 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1924-01)
    The present report gives a short account of a generalised type of Jankowski aerofoil which avoids the difficulty of extreme thinness near the trailing edge associated with the ordinary Jankowski aerofoils. Calculations ...
  • Heavy flexible cable for towing a heavy body below an aeroplane 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934)
    The mathematical expressions for the form of a heavy cable in a wind have been known for many years, but no systematic numerical results are available. Calculations have been made to derive a family of curves, depending ...
  • The interference on the characteristics of an aerofoil in a wind tunnel of rectangular section 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 20/02/1932)
    Approximate formulae for the interference on an aerofoil in a rectangular wind tunnel have been known and used for several years. More accurate formulae have been developed by Terazawa and Rosenhead, but their results are ...
  • The stability of a body towed by a light wire 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1930)
    Summary.-Introductory (Purpose of Investigation.)-Owing to the practice of towing instruments belovv an aeroplane, the conditions for the stability of a towed body required investigation. Range of investigation.-The ...
  • Theoretical relationships for an aerofoil with hinged flap 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1927)
    The use of an aerofoil with a hinged flap is of very general importance both for control surfaces and for main supporting surfaces, and in particular information is required as to the effect of varying the size of the flap.
  • The theory of the design of aerofoils with an analysis of the experimental results for the aerofoils R.A.F. 25, 26, 30 to 33 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1924)
    Recently a number of aerofoils have been designed with the object of obtaining (1) a good thick wing, and (2) a racing wing. Experimental results for these aerofoils are contained in reports R.&M. 915, R.&M. 928, and R.&M. ...
  • A theory of thin aerofoils 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1924)
    The present report develops a theory of thin aerofoils in two dimensional motion and simple integral expressions are obtained for the angle of incidence and moment coefficient at zero lift. A graphical method of integration ...
