  • The College of Aeronautics whirling arm initial development tests 
    Kumar, P. E. (College of Aeronautics, )
    The old Whirling Arm o-r the National Physical Laboratory has been re-erected at the College to provide a facility for the study of ground effect on wings, and other craft operating near the ground. The model is mounted on ...
  • Measurement of the moments of inertia of a hawker siddeley dove Mk. 5 aircraft 
    Bradley, W. G. (College of Aeronautics, )
    This note describes the measurement of the moments of inertia in roll, pitch and yaw of a Hawker-Siddeley (de Havilland) Dove Mk. 5 aircraft, using a spring-restrained oscillation technique. Using the present equipment ...
  • Slender shapes offering minimum drag in free-molecular flow 
    Boyd, E. A. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Analytical expressions are obtained for the optimum shapes which minimise the drag of a slender axisymmetric body in free-molecular flow, provided the drag expression is simplified using the slenderness assumption. The ...
  • 'Studies in stability and control analysis of airframes having nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics' 
    Christopher, P. A. T. (College of Aeronautics, )
    The problem of longitudinal stability and control of an airframe, having nonlinearity in its principal aerodynamic characteristics, is considered. It is shown that the equation describing the response in w, and thus the ...
  • An advanced course in air transport engineering 
    Hyde, David (College of Aeronautics, )
    In 1963 K.G. Wilkinson, then Assistant Chief Engineer of British European Airways, emphasised the lack of formal engineering education in the maintenance and operation of aircraft. This report describes the nine-month ...
  • Tabulation of some layouts and virtual displacement fields in the theory of Michell optimum structures 
    Chan, H. S. Y. (College of Aeronautics, )
    In the theory of two-dimensional Michell optimum structures, there arises the problem of calculating the lines of principal stresses and the virtual displacements which are analogous to slip lines and velocities in plane ...
  • A review of aerodynamic aspects of ram wing research 
    Ashill, P. R. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Theoretical and experimental research into the aerodynamics of ram wings is reviewed. The theories of two-dimensional and finite wings in ground effect are discussed and mention is made of the various experimental techniques ...
  • An investigation of vortex breakdown at Mach 2 
    Craven, A. H.; Alexander, A. J. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Wind tunnel tests have been made at M = 2 on a 75° swept delta wing in order to study the progressive breakdown of the leading edge vortices, which occurs at high incidence. The incidence at which vortex breakdown occurred ...
  • An investigation of surface deformations occurring at the contact edges of statically loaded discs 
    Jones, D. A.; Reason, B. R. (College of Aeronautics, )
    An investigation has been carried out, using statically loaded steel and 'Perspex' discs, into elastic displacements occurring at the axial extremities of the Hertzian flat. By employing the technique of 'Photostress', ...
  • The teaching of aircraft design 
    Newell, A. F.; Howe, D. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Aircraft Design has been taught at the College of Aeronautics since 1946. The course is at postgraduate level and is of two years duration. In the first year the students are given three exercises in component design which ...
  • Theoretical aspects of gas turbine combustion performance 
    Lefebvre, A. H. (College of Aeronautics, )
    A correlating parameter for gas turbine combustion performance, based on a 'burning velocity' theory for primary zone combustion is derived using a more direct approach than that originally employed by Greenhough and Levebvre.1 ...
  • Measurements of the moments of inertia of the Morane-Saulnier M.S.760 'PARIS' aircraft 
    Bradley, W. G. (College of Aeronautics, )
    This note describes the measurement of the moments of inertia, of a Morane-Saulnier M.S.760 'PARIS' aircraft. The moments of inertia in pitch, roll, and yaw were measured by the spring-constrained oscillation method. The ...
