Structural Weight of Aircraft as Affected by the System of Design (open access)

Structural Weight of Aircraft as Affected by the System of Design

Various details of design or arrangement of the parts of airplane structures are shown and discussed, the use of these devices having resulted in the production of structures of adequate strength, yet of a weight less than one-half of the usual construction.

The Simplifying Assumptions, Reducing the Strict Application of Classical Hydrodynamics to Practical Aeronautical Computations (open access)

The Simplifying Assumptions, Reducing the Strict Application of Classical Hydrodynamics to Practical Aeronautical Computations

Note presenting a general method followed to simplify the numerical work in hydrodynamics, which consists of neglecting quantities of a lower order of magnitude. Four of the solutions covered in this report include the theory of the lateral air forces on airship hulls, theory of wing sections in a two-dimensional flow, theory of wings with a finite span, and propeller theory.
