Redressing the Balance
THE first number of Aircraft Engineering appeared in March 1929 and we are taking the opportunity offered by the occurrence of the Paris Aero Salon—at which for the first time we…
Problems and Progress in Aircraft Design: Reflections on the Progress Made in the Last Twenty Years with a Glimpse into the Future Based on Recent Developments
W.S. FarrenIF variety is the spice of life, then aircraft engineers have little to complain of in their experience of the last twenty years. It is true that most of the hopes of a sane…
The Elementary Theory of Stressed Skin Construction: The First of a Specially Written Series of Articles Dealing Non‐Mathematically with the Stressing of Modern Aeroplane Structures
W.S. HempTHE types of problems treated in the Theory of Structures can be conveniently classified under three headings:
Aeronautical Research in Canada: The Organization of the Aeronautical Laboratories under the National Research Council and Some of the Special Problems under Investigation
J.H. ParkinAVIATION has played and is playing an important part in the economic development of the Dominion of Canada. The mapping of huge areas has been accomplished with aircraft and the…
Aeronautical Research in Australia: The Progress Made in the Ten Years Since the C.S.I.R. Division of Aeronautics was Established and Work Started
L.P. CoombesAERONAUTICAL research is now firmly established in Australia. Nevertheless, many people, including a large proportion of Australians, may well wonder why a country which derives…
Full‐Scale Research on a Flying Wing: Some Problems‐Encountered in the Evolution of the A.W.52 Tailless Aircraft
C.V. MurraySIX years ago Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Ltd. began to take a serious interest in the design and development of tailless aircraft and today two types arc undergoing…
Some Aspects of Propeller Fatigue Testing: A Paper on the Practical Application of the Results of Fatigue Testing to the Design of Components
G.C.I. GardinerTHE problems of fatigue testing are usually associated with the testing of specially machined specimens in a reverse loading machine such as the Whöler. Tests of this nature are…
The Bending of Fuselage Shells: A New Approach, Based on Laboratory Compression Tests, that is Analogous to the Calculation of the Form Factor of a Solid Beam
J.S. Taylor, R.D.M. HarperTHE paper suggests a new approach to the calculation of the bending strength of semi‐monocoque (and possibly fully mono‐coque) aircraft fuselage shells. The method described uses…
The Air Registration Board: A Progress Report on the Activities of the Board and the Results of its Work over the Past Five Years
Walter TyeTHIS article summarizes the activities of the Air Registration Board, and the results of its work, over the past five years. It is therefore in the nature of a progress report…
The Design of Redundant Structures for Minimum Weight: A Non‐Iterative Method with Simplified Arithmetical Work and its Application to the Design of a Circular Frame
E.W. ParkesTHE procedure usually adopted for the design of a redundant structure is to assume some initial distribution of material and then to stress this by strain energy methods. From the…
Research Reports and Memoranda
Under this heading are published regularly abstracts of all Reports and Memoranda of the Aeronautical Research Council, Reports and Technical Notes of the United States National…
Tools for the Workshop
Evidence of careful thought in the design of adjustable spanners and wrenches is welcome. The adjustable spanner that slips round the nut and causes barked knuckles docs so for a…
