Calibration of the Royal Aircraft Establishment 24-ft wind tunnel

J. E. Allen; K. V. Diprose (1942)

Evidence from several check experiments indicated that the results of the preliminary calibration of 1935 were in error. The object of the described experiment was to investigate this and to calibrate the wind tunnel in ...
Flight investigation of some airworthiness problems of civil boat seaplanes

J. Taylor; J. E. Allen; A. G. Smith (1955)

A general investigation has been made into measurement, control and performance problems associated with boat seaplane take-off and initial climb. Particular attention was paid to engine failure during take-off and initial ...
Water and air performance of seaplane hulls as affected by fairing and fineness ratio

A. G. Smith; J. E. Allen (1950)

An analysis is made of data on the variation of hull air drag with length/beam ratio and degree of local fairing, and of the maximum beam loading permitted for reasonable hydrodynamic performance. The effect of length/beam ...
