Toil and/Trouble

WE have frequently in the past given expression to our belief that one of the more useful functions AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING can perform is to publish from time to time articles…

Aeration and Foaming in Lubricating Oil Systems: A Study of Oil Aeration and the Fundamentals of the Foaming Process, with Particular Reference to the Aero‐engine

R. Tourret, Norman White

DESPITE the quite extensive literature on foam, the mechanism of its formation and decay does not appear to be widely appreciated. Most fundamental research has been orientated…

A Simplified Method of Measuring Take‐off Distances: Analysis of F. 47 Take‐off Camera Films Made Less Laborious as a Result of the Use of Runways

G.C. Abel

The standard method of analysing F.47 take‐off camera films, described in reference 1, is very laborious. It was developed for use when take‐offs were not normally made from…

High Temperature Propellent Reactions: The Determination of the Thermodynamic Properties of their Gaseous Products for use in Heat Engine Calculations

F.E. Osborne

AT temperatures below some 2,000°K. the significant end‐products of technically important reactions involving propellents of molecular forms compounded of C, H, O and N atoms are…

Turbine Stresses in Aero‐Engines: A paper read before the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis of Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A., on November 30, 1951

D.A. Drew

AS a member of a Rolls‐Royce team of engineers I have been engaged upon the study of the cause of turbine blade failure on the test‐bed and in flight, but I should like to mention…

The Effect of Moisture Content on the Tensile Strength of Sitka Spruce: A Report on Research Carried Out on Aircraft Quality Sitka Spruce

W.T. Curry

IT is well known that the strength properties of timber arc affected by the amount of moisture it contains. This effect has been investigated comprehensively for the strength…

The Library Shelf

The subject of Supersonic Aerodynamics, and indeed of compressible flow generally, is not fundamentally difficult; in fact, some aspects of supersonic flow are appreciably simpler…

Research Reports and Memoranda

Under this heading are published regularly abstracts of all Reports and Memoranda of the Aeronautical Research Council, Reports and Technical Memoranda of the United States…

Month in the Patent Office

The pilot's control member 10 of an aircraft controls two power units 25, 125 which each execute movements corresponding in amount and direction to the movement of the control…
