Aerodynamic Heat-Power Engine Operating on a Closed Cycle
"Hot-air engines with dynamic compressors and turbines offer new prospects of success through utilization of units of high efficiencies and through the employment of modern materials of great strength at high temperature. Particular consideration is given to an aerodynamic prime mover operating on a closed circuit and heated externally. Increase of the pressure level of the circulating air permits a great increase of limit load of the unit. This also affords a possibility of regulation for which the internal efficiency of the unit changes but slightly. The effect of pressure and temperature losses is investigated" (p. 1).

Bending tests of a monocoque box
A monocoque box beam consisting of a 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet reinforced by four bulkheads and by longitudinal stringers and corner posts was subjected to bending loads as follows: pure bending about the lift axis, cantilever bending about the lift axis, and pure bending about both lift and drag axis. Longitudinal strains were measured for loads up to a load at which permanent set became measurable. The loads were sufficient to produce buckling of the sheet between stringers on the compression side of the box. The only noticeable effect of this buckling was a small increase in extreme-fiber strain on the compression side. The measured strains and measured deflections differed less than 10 percent from those computed from the simple beam theory after taking account of the effective width of the buckled sheet. The effect of the bulkheads on the distribution of stringer strain was negligible.

[Clipping: "Ferry Pilot"]
Magazine clipping with a photograph of Nancy Batson on one side and an advertisement for Kollsman Aircraft Instruments. Text on the front side reads: " FERRY PILOT: All smiles over her appointment as Florida's first WAFS (Woman's Auxiliary Ferry Squadron) member, Nancy Batson, former flight instructor at Embry-Riddle, Miami, prepares to take off. A native of Alabama where she learned to fly at the U. of A., Tuscaloosa, Nancy at 22 intends to make flying her career. She is convinced that the longer the war continues women will assume more and more wartime responsibility."

Control-Motion Studies of the PBM-3 Flying Boat in Abrupt Pull-Ups
Report presenting a control-motion study in flight that is part of series covering a range of types and sizes of modern airplanes. This particular one involves the PBM-3 flying boat, which is equipped with a control mechanism typical of the cable-type systems in large transport, cargo, or bomber airplanes as well as those employed in flying boats. The elasticity of the elevator control system of the PBM-3 was such to limit the obtainable acceleration to about 3g for center-of-gravity positions in the usual operating range; that is, 26 to 30 percent mean aerodynamic chord, and for the range of airspeeds covered by the tests.

Control of Torsional Vibrations by Pendulum Masses
"Various versions of pendulum masses have been developed abroad within the past few years by means of which resonant vibrations of rotating shafts can be eliminated at a given tuning. They are already successfully employed on radial engines in the form of pendulous counterweights. Compared with the commonly known torsional vibration dampers, the pendulum masses have the advantage of being structurally very simple, requiring no internal damping and being capable of completely eliminating certain vibrations" (p. 1).

The Electrical Structure of Thunderstorms
"The time histories of thunderstorm charge distribution during three storms occurring during the summer of 1940 in the vicinity of the Albuquerque Airport were investigated by the use of eight synchronized recording electrometers arranged in a particular pattern over a field 1.6 kilometers above sea level. The instruments produced simultaneous records of the changes in the surface potential gradient caused by lightning strokes and each one had a time-resolving power of 0.01 second" (p. 1).

Full-Scale-Tunnel Investigation of a Multiengine Pusher-Propeller Installation
Report presenting an investigation of propellers designed specifically for pusher operation behind fixed contravanes on a large-scale model of a four-engine airplane. In the test, the wing trailing edge was twisted to serve as a contravane and to produce the rotating inflow required for optimum propulsive efficiency. Results indicated that gains in efficiency of about 3.5 percent at a blade angle of 40 degrees can be obtained by the use of contravanes with specifically designed pusher propellers.
