Marking Airdromes (open access)

Marking Airdromes

Necessity of adopting for all aviation fields, civil or military, a single system of markers for giving the direction for starting and landing (with an automatic indicator of the direction of the wind) and of indicating the good part of the field.

Deterioration of Airplane Fabrics (open access)

Deterioration of Airplane Fabrics

The observation that airplane fabrics, after long use, lose their original strength, caused the German Experimental Institute for Aviation to carry out a series of experiments on the effect of weathering on the cloth covering of airplane wings and fuselages.

Aerial Transportation (open access)

Aerial Transportation

Report discussing the origin of air traffic dates from the war. The important development of aeronautic industries and the progress made in recent years, under the impelling force of circumstances, rendered it possible, after the close of hostilities, to consider the practical utilization of this new means of economic expansion.

The Efficiency of a Wind Tunnel (open access)

The Efficiency of a Wind Tunnel

If, by some means, a steady state of motion of a perfect fluid were established in an ideal wind tunnel, there would be no losses, and the motion would persist indefinitely. In the actual tunnel, the function of the motor-fan group is overcome by the total loss of head in the tube due to friction and eddies.

Manometer for Recording Air Speed (open access)

Manometer for Recording Air Speed

If it is desired to record the pressure difference given a gauge, the manometer must answer the following conditions: 1) It must respond quickly so that all speed variations will be correctly recorded; 2) It must not be affected by rectilinear or curvelinear accelerations. Hence, movable parts must be counterbalanced. An instrument which met these criteria is discussed as well as details of construction.
