Some Preliminary Results from V-g Recorders Installed in Military and Civil Aircraft

Abstract

During the latter half of the 1939-45 war, V-g recorder slides were collected from a number of operational and training aircraft types, and about April, 1944, the scope was widened to include some commercial transport aircraft. A number of the results has been given limited circulation as Aeronautical Research Council papers, from heavy bombers in October, 1943, from fighters in January, 1944, and from twin-engined aircraft in April, 1944, and a summary of readings from commercial aircraft in 1946; this Report collects these scattered results into one body.
