In UK patent 2259679 Short Brothers plc describe an aircraft structural component such as an engine nacelle nose cowl. It comprises a forward compartment formed by a forward bulkhead and a skin structure which has an outer surface to be protected from accumulation of ice. A rear compartment is formed between the forward bulkhead and a rear bulkhead. A supply duct extends through the rear compartment and into the forward compartment for the delivery of pressurized hot gases to the inner surface of the skin structure. A protective shroud duct surrounds the supply duct between rear bulkhead and forward bulkhead and forms an annular space around the supply duct. The annular space is closed at the rear bulkhead and throughout its length within the rear compartment by a shroud duct and is open at its forward end into the forward compartment. Leakage of hot gases from the supply duct on rupture are therefore prevented by the shroud duct from entering into the rear compartment. A duct is provided for discharging spent gases from the forward compartment to the atmosphere.

THE leading thought in the design of the Do.X. was that to lead to the desired goal only that which had been technically proved could be used. Every kind of “experimenting” was ruled out from the beginning. There is no doubt that through this precaution creative work was, to a certain extent, handicapped. The fact, however, that from the commencement of the tests of the Flying‐Boat, up to their completion, only about one hundred working hours were occupied in alterations, proves, in conjunction with the results achieved, that the plan adopted was correct.

THE organization of the German aircraft industry has been set up around 5 main companies: Junkers, Heinkel, Dornier, Messerschmitt (the former Bayerische Flugzeugwerke), and Focke‐Wulf. All the other companies, with the exception of the Government‐owned Arado works, have been founded as “shadow” factories for those five—that some of them have taken up the development of their own types does not alter the fact that that is their main task.
