Part 1. Tables are given of the total heat and entropy of H2O, CO2, 02, CO, H2, OH, O and H for the range of temperature 1500-4000 °K. Values are also given for the corresponding equilibrium constants over the same temperature ...

PART I. The development of the flow pattern on a swept wing with incidence and stream Mach number is described. The wing, of aspect ratio 2.828, taper ratio 0.333 and leading-edge sweep 53.5 deg, was tested at Mach numbers ...

In Part I a review is made of helicopter performance after engine failure. The transition from powered operation to autorotation is discussed and a theoretical analysis of the motion is given for a single-rotor helicopter ...

Summary. The more important parameters of force-feedback accelerometers are defined, sources of error are discussed and an outline is given of methods by which the accelerometers may be evaluated and calibrated. The emphasis ...

An experimental investigation of the pressure recovery and drag characteristics of two series of isentropic centrebody intakes (designed for Mach numbers of 2.48 and 3.27 respectively) has been made at zero incidence and ...

A 36 x 35 in. transonic working section with slotted walls on all four sides is described. It is interchangeable with the original supersonic working section of the 3-ft. tunnel, and is used for tests at Mach numbers up ...

Photo-elastic methods are used to establish how much of a cylindrical steel strut mounted for measurement of compressive force by strain-gauges, has uniform stress distribution, even when the end load is concentrated near ...

Exercise Westminster was a demonstration of sonic bangs, together with some explosive bangs and flyovers by a jet aircraft, staged for an invited audience. This Report describes how the Exercise was conducted from the ...

A simulation of a small jet VTOL aircraft has been used to examine the principles of controlling such aircraft in the partly jet-borne regime. An investigation of three alternative techniques for control at constant speed ...

A piloted simulation of the take-off manoeuvre of a large aircraft has been developed to aid research into take-offdirector instruments. Records of undirected take-offs made in real flight and on the simulator have been ...
