Tapered Beams under Distributed Flank Loads: Solutions of Two‐dimensional Loading Problems on an Infinite Wedge
D.E.R. GodfreyIn this article solutions are set out for various types of external loading of a plate in the shape of an infinite wedge. All the problems considered are two‐dimensional in…
Lift‐Curve Slope at Subsonic and Supersonic Speeds: Graphical Presentation of Theoretical Results for Straight‐Tapered Wings
A. StanbrookTheoretical results for the initial lift‐curve slope of straight‐tapered wings, based on the linearized equations of inviscid motion, have been evaluated and are presented in the…
A General Theory of Helicopter Rotor Dynamics: An Analysis of the Dynamics of a Helicopter Rotor with Tapered and Twisted Blades
P.R. PayneBECAUSE of the complexity of rotor theory which has been developed for tapered and twisted blades (for example, Sissingh's well known papers) there is a great tendency to use and…
The Evaluation of Flutter Characteristics in Design: A Lecture Given to the Belfast Branch of The Royal Aeronautical Society on Tuesday, February 23, 1954
N.P. ShevloffIT is commonly held that today we are living in the age of the specialist. Within the aircraft industry, no one is more vulnerable to having this label of specialist thrust upon…

The Service Life of Aircraft Structures: An Examination from a Statistical Viewpoint of the Fundamentals upon which Aircraft Stressing is Based
F. TurnerThe ultimate aim of the stress calculation of aircraft structures is to reduce the frequency of defects in service to an acceptably low level. If this is to be done without undue…
The Slingsby Type 37 Sailplane: Some Details of an Inexpensive Glider with Laminar‐Flow Wings
T.A. BrownTHE Slingsby Type 37 is an unusual sailplane with many unconventional features of design and construction. It has been described, by one of the team that carried out the original…
Aluminized Coatings: A Comparison of Hot‐dip Coating with Aluminium and Hot Galvanizing
A.G. ThomsonSINCE 1949 the British Iron and Steel Research Association have been studying the properties of hot‐dip aluminized coatings. This work has led to the development of a simplified…
