Filling the Gap
TWENTY years ago the phenomenon of ground‐effect was known and to some extent understood but at the same time regarded generally with some misgivings. An aircraft in close…
Pressure Cabin Analysis: An Extension to Existing Theory
D.S. Houghton, A.S.L. ChanAn extension is made to the theory on which most aircraft pressure cabins are designed. In the existing theory the effect of the curvature of the deformed cylinder is neglected…
Ground‐Effect Machines: Classification and Basic Principles of the Six Main Categories
G.D. BoehlerAn analysis is made or the basic principles which govern the operation of those air‐cushion devices otherwise known as ground‐effect machines (GEMs). Most of these vehicles can be…
Topological Aspects of Structural Linear Analysis: Improving the Conditioning of the Equations of Compatibility of a Multi‐Member Skeletal Structure by Use of the Knowledge of Topology
J.C. de C. HendersonThe selection of a system of cut releases which would render a continuous skeletal structure statically determinate is governed principally by the topological and geometric…
Fatigue Resistance: Design Considerations
C.R. SmithContrary to the general conception of adding weight for fatigue resistance it is sometimes possible to reduce the fatigue hazard by removing weight. The theory of having bearing…
Accurate Measurement of Flow Rates: Description of the de Havilland Pottermeter
DURING preliminary investigations regarding the propellent system of the Blue Streak inter‐continental ballistic missile, for which de Havilland Propellers Ltd. are the prime…
The Library Shelf
A.D.B., A.J.K.The AGARD series of books are now becoming well established as valuable contributions to the technical literature on aeronautics. The present book adds one more volume and some…

Under this heading are published regularly abstracts of all Reports and Memoranda of the Aeronautical Research Council, Reports and Technical Memoranda of the United States…
Auxiliary Equipment
Although there is very little space in which crew members can move about inside modern bombers it is often necessary for them to move a few feet from one position to another. At…
Research and Test Apparatus
The Bell Aircraft Corporation has been awarded a United States Air Force contract for the development of manufacturing methods to produce an insulated double‐wall type cooled…
New Materials
Of all methods of weight reduction, the direct substitution of one material by another, lighter, material with equal strength involves the least design effort. This has always…
Tools for the Workshop
The spiral point is a new cutting surface shape, for a standard twist drill, which can be produced by means of the ‘Cincinnati Spiropoint’ drill sharpening machine. It is claimed…
Month in the Patent Office
In an aircraft, specifically a guided missile wherein the missile shell 10 carries a stub wing 16 to which is hinged a folding wing 11 which folds about a fore‐and‐aft axis 12 on…
U.S. Patent Specifications
A wingless aircraft has an elongated streamlined fuselage. This fuselage comprises fore and aft parts, the fore part having a fore air duct, and the aft part having an aft air…
German Patent Abridgements
In addition to the wing flaps 2 for decreasing take‐off and landing speed the wing 1 bears extendable jet deflectors 4, 7 which lead the jet to the wing tips. At the wing tips…
