The effect of a wind gradient on the rate of climb of an aircraft

W. A. Mair (1954)

The behaviour of an aircraft climbing in the presence of a wind gradient is analysed by a method similar to that used in R. & M. 379, but with fewer simplifying assumptions. It is shown that the result obtained in the ...
The effect of model size on measurements in the R.A.E. high speed tunnel. Drag of two-dimensional symmetrical aerofoils at zero incidence

W. A. Mair; H. E. Gamble (1944)

Pitot traverse drag measurements were made at zero incidence on three NACA 0015 aerofoils of different sizes. Pressures at the tunnel walls were also measured. For each aerofoil, tests were made at two different Reynolds ...
