The development of the gas turbine which provided large thrusts from comparatively small front areas, and at the same time retained its thrust efficiency at high speeds, introduced the possibility of building a supersonic ...

A method is given for calculating the temperature of a surface wetted either by a pure liquid, such as water, or by a mixture, such as alcohol and water. The method is applied to the problem of protecting; by alcohol, ...

In many problems relating to the stressing of thin-walled cylinders, and in particular those concerned with the stresses set up in a cylinder under torsion when one section is restrained against warping, it has been commonly ...

The report describes an experimental investigation of the boundary laver on the surface of a porous circular cylinder at which there is a normal inward velocity. The primary object of the experiments was to test the ...

The present work continued that reported in Ref. 1 and extended some of the results there described to lower entry Mach numbers (1.3 to 1.9). It was found, as in Ref. 1, that with a parallel entry duct followed by a straight ...

The theory of the boundary layer on a flat plate in a uniform stream with a velocity of suction proportional to xpower-1/2 (x being the distance from the leading edge of the plate), has been developed by Thwaites a in a ...

To present the general theory of diffusion of antisymmetrical concentrated end loads and edge loads into parallel stiffened panels, including the theory of bending of a parallel stiffened panel under arbitrary transverse ...

The stress concentrations are determined for a panel, bounded by main load-carrying members and an oblique edge, such as might occur at a cut-out in a swept wing. The solutions given are exact and cover the effects of a ...

In this paper, which is a continuation of two earlier ones (R. & M.'s 2713 & 2717), the subsonic flow past untapered swept wings, at zero incidence, is further investigated using linear theory. Methods for calculating ...

Opinion seems still unsettled on the aerodymamic merit of swept wings in supersonic flight. To elucidate this, Ackeret's theory of two-dimensional wave reaction is here extended to include sweep. The formulae so derived ...
