The Effect on Rudder Control of Slip Stream Body, and Ground Interference (open access)

The Effect on Rudder Control of Slip Stream Body, and Ground Interference

"This investigation was undertaken to determine the relative effects of those factors which may interfere with the rudder control of an airplane, with especial reference to the process of landing. It shows that ground interference is negligible, but that the effects of a large rounded body and of the slip stream may combine to interfere seriously with rudder control at low flying speeds and when taxiing" (p. 1).

Stresses Produced on an Airship Flying Through Gusty Air

"The stresses produced by gusts are proportional to the speed of the airship. At highest speed they are of the same range of magnitude as the stresses during the creation of a large dynamic lift" (p. 1).
