Structural Acoustic‐Proof Testing: A Discussion of the Techniques Employed to Determine the Effects of Noise on Aircraft Structure, and the Results of a Specific Test

H.C. Schjelderup

WITH the introduction of high‐powered propulsion systems, and paralleling their continued development, an accompanying increase in acoustical problems has arisen.

Anti‐Vibration Mounting of Aircraft Power Plants: An Analysis of the Problems Associated with Turbo‐jet, Turbo‐Propeller and Reciprocating Engines

J.F. Harriman

UPON completion of the design for the engine mounting it is most desirable that some ground testing should be carried out before the mounting is flight tested. These tests will…

Blown Flaps for Stol Operation: An Examination of the Lift Increment due to the Deflexion of Propeller Slipstream by Large Span Blown Flaps

Milton A. Schwartzberg

There has been some speculation anions STOL aircraft designers (hat a net increase in lift might be realized from a combination of blown flap and slip‐stream deflexion. A recent…
