Of Infinite Variety

NO apology is needed, we opine, to even the most died‐in‐the‐wool aeronautical enthusiast of our readers for reproducing here the paper read in January before the NORTH‐EAST COAST…

Air‐conditioning for Aircraft Cabins: A General Examination of the Conditions at Altitude and the Installations Required for Meeting Them

R. Tourret, E.F. Winter

AS air is a compressible fluid, a decrease of pressure occurs with increase of altitude (FIG. 1.) This change gives rise to anoxia or altitude sickness (due to lack of oxygen)…

Combustion Problems of the Gas Turbine

THIS paper will be confined to oil fuel, which has been used so far to a predominating extent in the gas turbine. It is possible that some of the general matters touched upon will…

The Application of Plastic Theory to Bending: An Examination of the General Principles Involved in Applying ‘Limit Design’ to Structural Members

M. Ish‐Horowicz

IN modern structural design the maximum carrying capacity of a member under non‐uniform static stress at normal temperatures is not necessarily the load which gives a maximum…

Shear Centre, Flexural Centre and Flexural Axis: An Attempt to Clear up Current Confusion and Provide Definitions Differentiating Between the Three Terms

R. Tatham

AERONAUTICAL engineers are afflicted by various ‘centres’ which will not stay put. Weights engineers spend much of their time chasing the elusive centre of gravity up and down the…

Torsional Column Strength of Thinned‐Walled Open Sections: A Mechanical Method of Calculating the Torsional Bending Constant for a Rolled Z‐Section Stringer

I.M.K. Malik

THE torsional instability of a column is most likely to occur with open‐section columns such as channels and Z‐sections as they are very inefficient in resisting torsion. For…
