Recent Progress in the Theory of Air Flow as Applied to Aeronautics (open access)

Recent Progress in the Theory of Air Flow as Applied to Aeronautics

In summing up it may be said that the hydrodynamic theories are best confirmed by experimental results for bodies with small resistance or drag and can accordingly be used in place of experimental tests.

Aerial navigation : on the problem of guiding aircraft in a fog or by night when there is no visibility (open access)

Aerial navigation : on the problem of guiding aircraft in a fog or by night when there is no visibility

Report discussing the use of magnetic fields and wire to navigate aircraft in conditions of poor visibility is presented. This field may be considered to be derived from a double lemniscate, considered in the particular case where the origin is a double point formed from the magnetic field of the slack wire, from the field produced by the return currents and from the field due to the currents induced in the conducting mass. These fields are dephased in two ways, one in the direction of the wire, the other in a direction perpendicular to it.

The Glider of the College Aviation Group of the Technical High School, Hanover (open access)

The Glider of the College Aviation Group of the Technical High School, Hanover

This report presents the results of testing on a glider designed and built by the College Aviation Group. The design and construction were based on the following principles: 1) the glider will be made to descend as slowly as possible; 2) rigidity and resistance were arranged to meet the conditions of varied loads; 3) construction is as simple as possible; 4) and great ease in assembling and dismounting have been sought.
