Air forces on airfoils moving faster than sound (open access)

Air forces on airfoils moving faster than sound

We are undertaking the task of computing the air forces on a slightly cambered airfoil in the absence of friction and with an infinite aspect ratio. We also assume in advance that the leading edge is very sharp and that its tangent lies in the direction of motion.

The Drift of an Aircraft Guided Towards Its Destination by Directional Receiving of Radio Signals Transmitted From the Ground (open access)

The Drift of an Aircraft Guided Towards Its Destination by Directional Receiving of Radio Signals Transmitted From the Ground

Following a curved path increases the distance to be flown, and a type of radio navigation that forces the adoption of such a path is therefore less efficient than one that marks out a definite straight line between the point of departure and the intended destination, and holds the airplane to that line. To determine the loss of efficiency resulting from curvature of the path, calculations were made for two particular cases by the method of step-by-step integration. The calculations were based on the assumption that the pilot makes straightforward use of his radio for navigation and makes no allowance for drift.

The "Navigraph" (open access)

The "Navigraph"

"Commander Le Prieur, whose flight experience in a low-speed seaplane we related in our number of September 27, 1924, invented, four years ago, an instrument destined to render very great service to aviators, namely, the "navigraph", designed to correct errors of orientation due to the effect of the winds during flight" (p. 1).
