A word to design staffs
WE commend particularly to junior members of drawing office and design staffs the article in this issue on failures in service which have proved to be due to lack of foresight in…
Appreciation of Landing Problems: With a Suggested Solution through Design
G.W. DruryIN its history, the aeroplane has rarely been considered prosaically as a transport vehicle, with the absolute acceptance of the implied requirements of public service, viz…
Wind‐Tunnel Wall Interference: Corrections to the Air Flow in Closed Rectangular Wind Tunnels
G.H. TidburyAN attempt is made here to summarize the present state of the theory of wind tunnel wall interference in a form that will be of some value to those using wind tunnels. The type of…
Photo‐Elasticity and Design Problems
R.B. HeywoodPHOTO‐ELASTICITY is not a new subject. In recent years much progress has been made towards a simplified technique, so that this method of stress analysis is now becoming popular…
Descriptive Geometry in Engineering
G. OrloffORTHOGONAL projections are commonly used for representing three dimensional figures on a sheet of paper, and their object is usually that of conveying shape and dimensions to…
Wing Pitching Moment Coefficient
W.L. MorseSCHRENK'S method for finding the wing lift distribution which has already been given in AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING can be taken further in order to determine the Pitching Moment…
The Mechanical Mind
“IN the event of war, electrical equipment will be reduced to a minimum and all radio will be removed from aircraft in order to carry more ammunition or an extra bomb.” What the…
Foreign Research Progress: Translations Issued by the N.A.C.A.
The coefficient of friction between piston ring and cylinder wall (both average coefficient and coefficient at different points over the stroke) was measured on a test set‐up in…
Design Defects that Lead to Failures
WHEN a new aeroplane is produced, every effort is made to ensure that it will be free from the “bugs”, to use that expressive word of the aircraft industry, experienced on…
Tools for the Workshop
It is claimed that it has been possible to increase output very substantially by the use of the Scrivener Profile Turning Lathe in the production of camshafts for the leading…
