Manoeuvrability at High Speeds: The Effects of Mach Number and Height on the Stalling Speed and Other Characteristics Affecting Manoeuvrability
A.H. YatesFORTY years ago the pilots of the earliest aeroplanes were embarrassed by the very restricted speed range of their aircraft. Often the maximum level speed obtainable was a mere…
Some Notes on Centrifugal Compressors: Derivation of The Basic Theory and Some Comparisons with Axial Machines
L.N. ThompsonCENTRIFUGAL compressors have found their main use to date in jet engines—for example, all the early Whittle engines and many subsequent machines were fitted with this type. This…
Free Vibration of a Rotating Elastic Body: The General Theory and Some Examples of Practical Cases
D.C. JohnsonENGINEERING science provides many examples of the vibration of rotating bodies. The torsional vibration of crankshafts, the whirling of shafts and rotors and the flexural…
The Study of Strength of Materials: A Note on the Changes in the Teaching of the Subject to Aeronautical Engineers Necessitated by Recent Developments
F.T. HillTHE study and teaching of the subject of ‘Strength of Materials’, in so far as the engineering student is concerned, is in a state of metamorphose much more far‐reaching than most…
