Tests were required to be made on six kites over a greater range of wind speed than for previous large-tunnel tests. The kites used during the investigation were (A) 3-ft Cody kite Mk. II, (B) 3-ft reversed Cody or Dyco ...
The present report deals with the frequency response of pivoted gyratory systems, and in particular, with the response of the ordinary rotor blade, the Hiller servo-blade, and the Young-Bell stabiliser to sinusoidal ...
This report describes a frost-point hygrometer suitable for measuring the water-vapour content of the air in supersonic wind tunnels at any stagnation pressure within their present range of operatiom It uses CO2 as a coolant ...
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 ...
Tests have been made on a large four-engined flying boat (Solent Mk. 3), to determine the hydrodynamic performance in sheltered water and in open-sea swells. The sheltered water characteristics were investigated over a ...
This report describes an investigation into the hydrodynamic qualities of a Sunderland flying-boat hull, weight 50,000 lb, fitted with a main-step fairing of fairing ratio 17 : 1. The fairing was equipped with ventilating ...
Summary. This report gives further experimental results for compressible turbulent boundary layers with air injection. The experimental arrangement is similar to that used by Jeromin (R. & M. 3526) but, by a slight ...
The wind-tunnel tests on cambered gothic wings reported in Reports and Memoranda No. 3211 have been extended to include the effects of changes in design lift coefficient and of changes in spanwise camber without changes ...
