The College of Aeronautics
LAST month saw the tenth anniversary of the coming into being of the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield, since it was in October 1946 that the first term started.
Thermo‐Elastic Formulae for the Analysis of Beams: Stress Distributions within a Structure due to Temperature Gradients and their Influence on Strength and Stiffness
W.S. HempTHE kinetic heating associated with supersonic flight produces temperature gradients within the aircraft structure. These in their turn are responsible for so‐called ‘thermal…
Some Aspects of Turbojet Performance Calculation at High Flight Mach Numbers: Problems of Performance Prediction in Truly Supersonic Engines
J.R. PalmerAT the present time turbojet aircraft types which are capable of level flight Mach numbers well into the supersonic range are appearing in increasing numbers. Yet, while this…
The Possible Use of Semiconductor Devices in Aircraft: Possible Airborne Applications for a Range of New Materials with Unusual Properties
D.C. BrownSINCE the early years of the last decade a great deal of research has been done on the properties of the new class of materials called semiconductors because their electrical…
Conduction of Heat within a Structure subjected to Kinetic Heating: A Study of the Problem of Skin Temperature at Hypersonic Speeds
T. NonweilerMANY hold the view that the attainment of very high speeds of flight will be prohibited by the excessive skin temperatures involved, particularly in the vicinity of the wing…
Modern Aircraft Geometry: A Description of the Mathematical Method used at SAAB, Sweden, for Aircraft Dimensioning and Shape Determination
N. LidbroTHE determination of the shape and position of the various constructional elements in an aircraft must be based on principles different from those used in the case of an ordinary…
Incremental Collapse Due to Thermal Stress: A Paper presented at The College of Aeronautics Symposium on Structural Problems of High Speed Flight
E.W. ParkesWHEN a structure is subjected to a recurrent cycle of loading a number of different types of deformation may be set up. The structure may remain elastic throughout, returning to…
Seventh International Astronautics Congress: Summaries of Some of the More Important Papers given at the Congress Held in Rome, September 17–22, 1956
J. HumphriesThe major heat sources for satellites above the atmosphere are (1) the sun, (2) the sunlight reflected from the earth and (3) the long‐wave radiation from the earth. In addition…
Correspondence: Plastic Pressure Cabins
To the Editor. Dear Sir, In your issue of September 10 was an article by Dr P. B. Walker under the above title. This article appears to have been induced by some suggestions put…
The Library Shelf
Dr W. Ker Wilson is an acknowledged authority on matters relating to vibration; anything therefore coming from his pen deserves attention, but a third edition of his book on the…
