Air-consumption parameters for automatic mixture control of aircraft engines (open access)

Air-consumption parameters for automatic mixture control of aircraft engines

From Introduction: "The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the use of function of intake-manifold temperature and pressure, exhaust back pressure, and engine speed in place of a ventri as a means of measuring engine air consumption and to determine if this function is suitable for automatic mixture control."

Accelerations and bottom pressures measured on a B-24D airplane in a ditching test (open access)

Accelerations and bottom pressures measured on a B-24D airplane in a ditching test

From Introduction: "This report presents only that portion of the data from the first ditching which was to be used roughly establish the accelerations experienced by the pilot and the amount of water pressure to which the fuselage structure was subjected during the ditching."
