Low-speed measurements of skin-friction on a slender wing

L. A. Wyatt; L. F. East (1966)

Summary. Extensive measurements have been made with surface pitot-tubes of the skin friction on the upper surface of a slender wing. The surface pitot-tubes took the form of razor-blade segments attached magnetically to ...
Tests on the loss of vertical jet thrust due to ground effect on two simple VTOL planforms, with particular reference to the short SC1 aircraft

L. A. Wyatt (1958)

The net vertical thrust available to an aircraft for vertical take-off and landing falls off with proximity to the ground. Measurements have been made of this thrust loss as a function of wing height above the ground, on ...
The velocities induced by distributions of infinite kinked source and vortex lines representing wings with sweep and dihedral in incompressible flow

G. G. Brebner; L. A. Wyatt (1970)

Equations have been derived for the velocities induced in an incompressible flow by distributions of infinite source and vortex lines representing wings of infinite span and constant chord having both sweep and dihedral. ...
