Fittings and Other Structural Parts of Airplanes (open access)

Fittings and Other Structural Parts of Airplanes

"The strength and reliability of airplanes depend greatly on the careful design and manufacture of fittings, couplings, and other highly stressed parts. The more important parts of the airplane must be occasionally tested for increased loads and in order to avoid the possibility of defects creeping in during subsequent production. Strength tests are discussed for fittings for wing spar joints, fittings for strut connections, internal bracing, control gear, and landing gear" (p. 1).

Graphic Method for Calculating the Speed and Climbing Ability of Airplanes (open access)

Graphic Method for Calculating the Speed and Climbing Ability of Airplanes

Note presenting a graphic method for calculating the speed and climbing ability of airplanes. This method starts from the actual power developed by the engine and makes it possible to determine all factors which together constitute what are known as flight performances for any combination of engine and airplane from the single graphic diagram given.
