  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • On the flow along swept leading edges 
    Gaster, M. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Flight tests on the Handley Page suction wing showed that turbulence, generated at the wing root, can propagate along the leading edge and cause the whole flow to be turbulent. The flow on the attachment line of a swept ...
  • Recent aeroelastic investigations at the College of Aeronautics 
    Johns, D. J. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Introduction Since the College of Aeronautics was founded in 1946 aeroelasticity has been the subject of much research by both students and staff in the Departments of Aircraft Design and Aerodynamics. It is not the present ...
  • 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 ...
  • Some experiments with fluidic devices in aviation kerosene 
    Taylor, A. F. (College of Aeronautics, )
    Comparatively little has been published on ‘heavy current’ fluidic devices yet their advantages suggest that they have a place in aircraft fluid systems. As a first brief step towards assessing their value to the aircraft ...
  • '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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
