  • Lock, C. N. H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1930)
    A recent paper on the Vortex theory of screw propellers, by Dr. S. Goldstein in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, contains a solution of the problem of the potential flow past a body consisting of a finite number of ...
  • 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 ...
  • Fage, A. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1930)
    The paper gives the results of experiments made recently to measure the drag of a circular cylinder of large diameter (23 in.). The more important measurements made in this country and abroad of the drags of circular ...
  • Fage, A.; Falkner, V. M. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1931)
    The intensity of friction on the surfaces of two cylinders of diameter 2·93 in. and 5·89 in. respectively have been determined from measurements of velocity taken at distances of about 0·0025 in. from the surface with small ...
  • Thom, A. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1931)
    Parts 1 -3. In 1925 the writer made a series of measurements of the direction and velocity of the air throughout the field about a rotating cylinder. The resulting velocity contours and streamlines were published at the ...
  • R. A. Frazer; W. J. Duncan (H. M. Stationery Office, 1931)
    The present report is the second in the Monograph series of the Aeronautical Research Committee to be devoted to the subject of flutter. The first, R. & M. 1155, appeared in 1928 and was entitled "The Flutter of 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 ...
  • Thom, A. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934)
    The Potential Flow streamlines past a circular cylinder are as shown in Fig. la ... If a circulation is superimposed the streamlines become as in Fig. lb ... As the circulation is increased the stagnation points move ...
  • Lock, C. N. H.; D. Yeatman (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934)
    An improved method of calculating the performance of an airscrew has been described in prcv:ious reports (Refs. I and 2), which includes an allowance for tip loss. The present report contains tables of a parameter (x) ...
  • Lock, C. N. H.; Bateman, H.; Nixon, H. L. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934-10)
    The main series of tests of the original family of airscrews described in R&M 829 consisted of measurements of overall thrust and torque on 5 two-bladed and four-bladed airscrews of pitch diameter ratios 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 ...
  • Lock, C. N. H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934-10)
    A rapid method is described of making calculations of airscrew performance by means of charts. The first application is to ordinary strip theory calculations on the basis of the formulae of Ref. 5. Six charts are required ...
  • Meredith, F. W. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1935)
    The recent increase in the speed of aeroplanes has brought the question of cooling drag into prominence and forced the application of the principle of low velocity cooling. An analysis of the performance of a cooling system ...
  • W. S. Farren (H. M. Stationery Office, 1935)
    A balance has been developed in the Aeronautics Laboratory at Cambridge by which the reaction on a wing whose angle of incidence is increasing or decreasing rapidly can be recorded. The reactions have been measured on eight ...
  • J. Cohen (H. M. Stationery Office, 1936)
    Under review
  • J. A. Beavan; Lock, C. N. H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1936)
    An analysis of the blade motion and force characteristics of the standard Cierva C.30 autogiro rotor is made, taking into account the torsional flexibility of the blades. The results are applied to the steady motion and ...
  • Duncan, W. J. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1937)
    The method to be described here is attributed to the Russian investigator V. G. Galerkin, whose original papers are inaccessible to the present writer. His knowledge of the method is derived from a description given in a ...
  • H. B. Squire; A. D. Young (H. M. Stationery Office, 1937)
    Owing to improvements in aerodynamic design it is desirable to be able to predict profile drag accurately. A method of calculating the profile drag of aerofoils is developed and is applied to investigate the drag of a flat ...
  • J. Cohen; H. P. Fraser (H. M. Stationery Office, 1938)
    It has been stated that flaps for landing a clean, heavily loaded aeroplane, should provide a range of settings over which the lift is constant but the drag variable within wide limits, with low operating forces. The Irving ...
  • Unknown author (H. M. Stationery Office, 1939)
    CONTENTS. The Continuous Beam. The Large Deflections of a Thin Circular Ring. Theoretical Discharge of Air from Ports in a Duct. The Estimation of Pipe Delivery from Pitot-Tube Measurements. The Influence of Wall Oscillations, ...
  • P. A. Hufton; A. E. Woodward; F. J. Bigg; J. A. Beavan (H. M. Stationery Office, 1939)
    The present report on the performance of a gyro plane contains the first really satisfactory set of full scale data to be obtained in this country, and affords a valuable means of checking a body of theoretical investigation ...
