The Coupling of Engines (open access)

The Coupling of Engines

This report examines the idea of coupling numerous engines together to turn a single propeller, which the author feels would free aircraft design from the problems of multi-engine and propeller design.

Resume of the Theory of Naval and Aerial Propulsive Propellers and of Airplanes in the Rectilinear Flight (open access)

Resume of the Theory of Naval and Aerial Propulsive Propellers and of Airplanes in the Rectilinear Flight

Though dissimilar, these two subjects have been united because they have some points in common. The computation of the movement of an airplane can only be correctly established if we are in a position to know exactly the thrust and resisting torque of the propeller for the various values of slip, which may vary greatly according to circumstance. The first part of the work concerns propellers and introduces as a fundamental variable, the true slip (delta) with respect to the effective pitch, which is the advance per revolution of the propeller corresponding to no thrust. The second part deals with characteristic curves of an airplane.

The Technical Development of the Transport airplane: Report of the Aero-Technical Conference of the Scientific Association for Aeronautics, March 5, 1919

The abolition of military qualifications gives free scope to new technical possibilities in the development of transport airplanes. This report notes the various considerations that must be made when designing aircraft to meet the needs of commercial passengers. Comfort and safety must be emphasized.

Study of the Resistance Offered by Propellers Rotating on an Airstream (open access)

Study of the Resistance Offered by Propellers Rotating on an Airstream

This report presents a series of tests conducted to verify the formula for thrust P = q(exp 2) D(exp 2) V(exp 2), where P represents thrust, V the velocity of the airstream, D the diameter of the propeller, and q the lifting quality of a comparative propeller which is called the conjugate propeller.

On the Resistance of the Air at High Speeds and on the Automatic Rotation of Projectiles (open access)

On the Resistance of the Air at High Speeds and on the Automatic Rotation of Projectiles

Here, the laws governing the flow of a compressible fluid through an opening in a thin wall are applied to the resistance of the air at high speeds, especially as applied to the automatic rotation of projectiles. The instability which we observe in projectiles shot into the air without being given a moment of rotation about their axis of symmetry, or without stabilizing planes, is a phenomenon of automatic rotation. It is noted that we can prevent this phenomenon of automatic rotation by bringing the center of gravity sufficiently near one end, or by fitting the projectile with stabilizing planes or a tail.

Gordon Bennett Airplane Cup 1920 (open access)

Gordon Bennett Airplane Cup 1920

The characteristics of the airplanes built for the Gordon Bennett Airplane Cup race that took place on September 28, 1920 are described. The airplanes are discussed from a aerodynamical point of view, with a number of new details concerning the French machines. Also discussed is the regulation of future races. The author argues that there should be no limitations on the power of the aircraft engines. He reasons that in the present state of things, liberty with regard to engine power does not lead to a search for the most powerful engine, but for one which is reliable and light, thus leading to progress.

Similitude tests on wing sections (open access)

Similitude tests on wing sections

Report presenting an exploration of the application of model test results to full size construction, which assumes that either the resistance varies as the square of the speed within, the range of speeds in question or that the mechanical similarity law is fulfilled by the model test. The latter requires that the relation of airflow to the model be exactly like that for the large machine.

Recent European Developments in Helicopters (open access)

Recent European Developments in Helicopters

Descriptions are given of two captured helicopters, one driven by electric power, the other by a gasoline engine. An account is given of flight tests of the gasoline powered vehicle. After 15 successful flight tests, the gasoline powered vehicle crashed due to the insufficient thrust. Also discussed here are the applications of helicopters for military observations, for meteorological work, and for carrying radio antennas.
