Second report on the twisting of propeller blades. Supplementary to R. & M. 454

Griffith, A.A.; Hague, B. (1918)

The method of investigating the twist of propeller blades, which was developed in R. & M. 454, is interpreted mathematically by making a certain assumption as to the shape of the cross-sections. A general equation expressing ...
The design of a sensitive yawmeter

Pannell, J. R.; Jones, R. (1918)

The investigation was undertaken in response to a request from the Technical Department of the Air Board for information as to the most sensitive form of yawmeter, and for a calibration curve for such an instrument. The ...
The distribution of pressure over the surface of airship model U.721, together with a comparison with the pressure over a spheroid

Jones, R.; Williams, D.H. (1919)

Undertaken to obtain data upon which to base nose-stiffening calculations on new airship. Distribution of pressure was measured over the whole length of the airship model at zero angle of incidence, with wind speed varying ...
Experiments on balanced control surfaces for rigid airships

Jones, R.; Williams, D.H. (1919)

The experiments were conducted at the request of the Airship Design Department of the Admiralty in order to obtain data to assist in designing balanced control surfaces for airships of the R.38 class. Pitching moments ...
Some notes on the theory of an airscrew working in a wind channel

Wood, R. McK.; Harris, R.G. (1920)

(a) Reasons for enquiry (l) The Momentum Theory of R. E. Fronde leads to equations which require some modification when the airscrew is working in a tunnel of dimensions comparable with the diameter of the screw. (2) Some ...
