  • An analysis of steady straight flight with inclined thrust 
    S. B. Gates; A. W. Thorpe (1953)
    Griffith's proposal to achieve vertical take-off and landing at the usual attitude demands sea-level thrust considerably greater than the weight and continuously rotatable through 90 deg. A study of the steady states of ...
  • Note on differential gearing as a means of aileron balance 
    S. B. Gates (1940)
    It has been suggested in some American investigations that differential gearing, combined with adjustment of the aileron floating angle by means of a tab, may be a powerful method of balancing ailerons. This report sets ...
  • Notes on the analysis of stability in accelerated motion 
    S. B. Gates; A. W. Thorpe (1954)
    Linear differential equations whose coefficients are functions of the independent variable are now assuming importance in aeronautics in the discussion of the motion following a small disturbance in a specified accelerated ...
  • Notes on the tail-first aeroplane 
    S. B. Gates (1939)
    The tail-first aeroplane has certain strong attractions when combined with a tricycle undercarriage; in particular it has been suggested that it would represent a definite advance in the production of high lift. In these ...
  • Notes on the transonic movement of wing aerodynamic centre 
    S. B. Gates (1949)
    These notes aim at providing a framework to display what is known of the backward movement of the aerodynamic centre of wing shapes likely to be used for transonic operation, as the flow progresses from incompressible ...
  • Proposal for an elevator maneuverability criterion 
    S. B. Gates (1942)
    The approximate theory of response to elevator developed by Bryant, Gandy and Gates yields a compact formula for a criterion of manmuvrability Q, the 'stick force per increment in g' ; there is an anMogous but less useful ...
  • Swept wings in supersonic flight 
    S. B. Gates (1946)
    Opinion seems still unsettled on the aerodymamic merit of swept wings in supersonic flight. To elucidate this, Ackeret's theory of two-dimensional wave reaction is here extended to include sweep. The formulae so derived ...
