Welding for aerospace applications
THE use of welding in the aircraft industry has in the past been restricted, in general, to secondary structures owing to the lack of fully weldable aluminium alloys that had a…
The Use of Welding in Aircraft Design
A.J. TroughtonTHE British aircraft industry will only survive if it is competitive in the world's markets. This applies in both the civil and military fields. Since the main function of an…
The Background to the Weldable Al‐Zn‐Mg Alloys
P.M. Bartle, K.G. KentTHE alloys under consideration contain only zinc and magnesium as the major alloying additions. The total alloy content varies between 5 and 7 per cent whereas the high strength…
The Welding of Titanium and its Alloys
D.C. MooreFEW materials have made such an impact on the engineering scene as have titanium and its alloys. Whilst titanium was first isolated in 1825 it was not at that time recognised as…
Electrolytic Marking Process as an Aid to Component Identification: A brief description of a marking process which avoids the use of stamping or engraving
DURING the production of aircraft, it is essential, perhaps more than in any other industry, for the identity of each component to be known at all stages of manufacture. This…
The Choice between One Engine or Two: An appreciation of the factors involved in choosing a single or twin‐engine layout for military tactical aircraft
R.W. HigginsTHE current discussions to define a multi‐role aircraft for the mid 1970s have been notable for dissension of opinion on the choice between one engine or two. This remarkably…

T.E. FordA FURNACE that is believed to be the only one of its kind in the world specifically designed for large scale titanium production was recently opened at Imperial Metal Industries…
The Use of Compressed Air in Aircraft Manufacture: An examination of the numerous applications of compressed air in the industry to‐day
E. FordFEW industries can claim a higher level of technological achievement than aircraft manufacture and it is therefore hardly surprising that this industry should have pioneered and…
The Library Shelf
C. H. Barnes traces the progress of the Short brothers from their purchase of a second‐hand balloon in 1897 to the present day Government‐owned firm of Short Brothers and Harland…
