Appreciation of Landing Problems: With a Suggested Solution through Design
G.W. DruryCASTORING stability requires automatic return, after displacement, of the castoring wheel to the central position. A hinged wheel may be automatically stable under static…
Photo‐elasticity and Design Problems
R.B. HeywoodIN Part I, some aspects of the technique of stress determination by photo‐elastic analysis were recommended which, it was considered, would overcome certain difficulties. Let us…
Airscrew Torque‐Coefficient
V.D. NaylorTHERE are reasons for believing that in certain states of working, the resultant aerodynamic force on a blade element of an airscrew is normal to a helicoidal surface. The object…
Unsymmetrical Bending and Strut Design
A.N. KinkeadIN dealing with beams, in which the trace of the plane containing the applied bending moment does not coincide with a principal axis of the beam section, the present design method…
Tailless Aeroplane Control Systems
A.R. WeylIN the tailless aeroplane, side‐slip motions during take‐off and landing manoeuvres are specially undesirable, since it tends to be deficient in lateral stability, as we have…
The Import Of Instruction Manuals
J.A. KydINSTRUCTION books, like dentists, are there to be consulted, but people seldom go near either of them until things go wrong and then usually wish that a visit had been paid…
The Strength of Alclad D.T.D. 390
I.G. BowenDATA are available in References 1 and 2 for the study of the frequency distribution of strength of Alclad sheet to specification D.T.D. 390. Before proceeding with the analysis…
A New Drawing Office Appliance: The Glenn Martin ‘Axonograph’ for Producing Three Dimensional Prints
SOME type of three dimensional drawing has long been recognized as the ideal form of production illustration but they have seldom been used because of the difficulties involved in…
Making Ignition Faults Visible
A. ClarkUNSATISFACTORY performance of an aircratt engine often leads to the ignition system being suspect without there being positive proof that this is where the trouble lies. A…
U.S. Patent Specifications
