Six Fruitful Years
IT has always been a little difficult in a monthly periodical such as AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING to know how best to deal with the annual S.B.A.C. Display. We inevitably have to go so…
Post‐War Trends and Developments in British Aircraft: A Survey of Progress Since 1949 as Exemplified by the Aircraft Demonstrated at the S.B.A.C. Displays
A.F. NewellTHE purpose of this article is to indicate the developments in aircraft that have appeared since the first post‐war S.B.A.C. Display of 1946. Now is perhaps the time to pause and…
Manoeuvre Point Properties of the Aero‐Isodinic Wing: A Comparative Study of the Manoeuvring Stability of Aircraft with Aero‐Isoclinic and Conventional Wings
A.S. TaylorAs part of the R.A.E.‘s critical study of the aero‐isoclinic principle of wing design, a detailed examination was made of high‐speed aeroelastic effects on manoeuvre point, with…
Some Structural Parameters for an Aero‐Isoclinic Wing: A Novel Method of Building an Aero‐Isoclinic Wing
E.H. MansfieldThe general theory of the clastic behaviour of a conventional single‐cell wing stiffened with swept ribs (or stringers) has been dcvclopcd. It was shown that the swept members…
High Strength Light Alloys: A Note on Certain Problems Arising from the Adoption of New Alloys
