Hydrodynamic tests for determining the take-off characteristics of seaplanes (open access)

Hydrodynamic tests for determining the take-off characteristics of seaplanes

The resistance of water, even at low speeds, may be such as to render it impossible to take off. For this type of aircraft, it is therefore especially important to determine the take-off characteristics. A new and simple graphical method is given and appears to be the only one for the complete solution of the problem.

Speed Limits of Aircraft (open access)

Speed Limits of Aircraft

This paper is restricted to the question of attainable speed limits and attacks the problem from different angles. Theoretical limits due to air resistance are presented along with design factors which may affect speed such as wing loads, wing areas, wing section shifting, landing speeds, drag-lift ratios, and power coefficients.
