Static Longitudinal Stability and Longitudinal Control of Autogiro Rotors (open access)

Static Longitudinal Stability and Longitudinal Control of Autogiro Rotors

The present report discusses three different systems of elevator control and their effects on the stability and maneuverability of autogiros: (a) ailerons and elevators (standard); (b) blade control (la Cierval); (c) gravity control (new).

The Twisting of Thin-Walled, Stiffened Circular Cylinders (open access)

The Twisting of Thin-Walled, Stiffened Circular Cylinders

On the basis of the present investigation of the twisting of thin-walled, stiffened cylinders the following conclusions can be reached: 1) there is as yet no generally applicable formula for the buckling moment of the skin; 2) the mathematical treatment of the condition of the shell after buckling of the skin is based on the tension-field theory, wherein the strain condition is considered homogenous.
