The Fairchild "all-purpose" is a 4 seater with a large luggage compartment, good visibility, and can be configured for surveying work. It is rated at 200 HP. at 1800 R.P.M., but can deliver over 220 HP.

With a speed of 186.5 M.P.H. and an operational altitude of 20,000 feet the De Havilland Tiger Moth has caused comment as it was introduced just before the King's Cup race of 1927. It is a single seater with unusual control configuration due to the cramped cockpit area.

A guide to feeding chickens for the production of quality meat and eggs.

Memorandum presenting a review of some of the German gliders produced from 1920-1923. The designs, flight characteristics, and descriptions of successful flights are provided.

Report presenting some information and potential areas of study of turbulent flow and turbulence.

This paper is the first of a series of notes, each of which presents the complete results of pressure distribution tests made by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, on single-wing ribs of the VE-7 and TS airplanes for a particular condition of flight. The level flight results are presented here in the form of curves and show the comparison between the pressure distribution over a representative thin wing, R.A.F.-15, and a moderately thick wing, U.S.A.-27, throughout the range of angle of attack.

This note deals with the mass distribution and performance of free flight models. An airplane model which is to be used in free flight tests must be balanced dynamically as well as statically, e.g., it must not only have a given weight and the proper center of gravity but also a given ellipsoid of inertia. Equations which relate the motions of an airplane and its model are given. Neglecting scale effect, these equations may be used to predict the performance of an airplane, under the action of gravity alone, from data obtained in making dropping tests of a correctly balanced model.

Circular presenting a description of the Focke-Wulf F.19 Ente, which is a tail-first airplane that was the first to fly under proper control. Details regarding the design, construction, controls, power unit, flight characteristics, and photographs are provided.

The Stinson S M-1 seats 5 passengers and a pilot. It is equipped with a Wright Whirlwind Engine. A description of the fuselage, cabin, power plant, gasoline supply, controls, wings, landing gear, lift struts, tail group, characteristics, drawings, and photographs are provided.

"The pressure distribution tests described in this report, covering angles of attack up to 90 degrees, were made on a rectangular monoplane wing model in the atmospheric wind tunnel of the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory. These tests indicate that a rectangular wing, by reason of its large tip loads, is uneconomical aerodynamically and structurally, has pronounced lateral instability above maximum lift, and is not adaptable to accurate calculation based on the classical wing theory" (p. 197).

Different applications of the slotted-wing principle are discussed as well as the advantages of using them. Slotted-wings are provided as a promising solution to the problem of needing to increase flight speed for aircraft while also decreasing landing speed.

The endeavor to draw a strict line between gliders and soarers as been recently abandoned and the following classification adopted: 1) gliders controlled by shifting the weight of the body; 2) gliders controlled by rudders; 3) gliders controlled by wings. The different classes are discussed as well as materials and parts used in construction.
