Summary.--The lift, pitching moment and full-span constant-chord control hinge-moment are derived for a cropped delta wing describing harmonic plunging and pitching oscillations of small amplitude and low-frequency parameter ...
Estimates of atmospheric turbulence from counting accelerometer records show a large scatter. The simple assumption of a random distribution of gusts is inconsistent with this scatter. A formula which takes account of the ...
An experimental study has been made of two-dimensional turbulent boundary-layer flow with zero pressure gradient. The investigation was made to determine the accuracy of a method proposed by Preston for measuring the local ...
This paper gives the results of an investigation into the effects of wing torsion in a ternary-type spring tab flutter. The results presented are for a series of calculations on an idealised system having degrees of freedom ...
This report investigates the extent to which the dynamic behaviour of a torpedo is sensitive to changes in its stability derivatives. The main object in carrying out the investigation was to provide guidance on the accuracy ...
An analysis has been made of the full-scale measured drag and lift performance, data available on the Sunderland, Solent, Shetland, Sealand, Saro E.6/44 and Princess boat seaplanes, which all have hulls of fairly orthodox ...
Wind-tunnel test results for the flutter of a swept-back wing carrying a localised mass, and having symmetric or antisymmetric freedoms of the root, are given. The tests were made on a model wing of 23 deg sweepback, the ...
