On the Distribution of Lift Along the Span of an Airfoil With Displaced Ailerons

Description: "The effect of an aileron displacement on the distribution of the lift along the span is computed for an elliptic wing of aspect ratio 6 for three conditions. The lift distribution caused by the aileron displacement is uniform and extends normally beyond the inner end of the ailerons. Hence, the displacement of an aileron with constant chord length may bring about passing the stalling point of the adjacent wing sections, if these were near this point before" (p. 1).

Remarks on the Pressure Distribution over the Surface of an Ellipsoid, Moving Translationally Through a Perfect Fluid

Description: "This note, prepared for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, contains a discussion of the pressure distribution over ellipsoids when in translatory motion through a perfect fluid. An easy and convenient way to determine the magnitude of the velocity and of the pressure at each point of the surface of an ellipsoid of rotation is described. The knowledge of such pressure distribution is of great practical value for the airship designer" (p. 1).

A Method for the Instantaneous Determination of the Velocity and Direction of the Wind

Description: The laboratory instruments, which we often constructed with makeshift means, gave encouraging results and showed that they could satisfactorily meet the required conditions. By limiting ourselves to the employment of hot wires of 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) diameter, we obtained instruments which faithfully followed all the wind fluctuations of over 0.1 second and even much more rapid variations without any very great error.

Development of Wing-Steered Messerschmitt Gliders

Description: The present article is a brief report on the development and testing of the Messerschmidt glider that set a duration record of 21 minutes. Its most conspicuous characteristic was the placing of the steering gear entirely inside the fuselage and wings.

Air Forces Exerted on Streamlined Bodies with Round or Square Cross- Sections, When Placed Obliquely to the Airstream

Description: "The question of behavior of a streamlined body with round or square cross-sections is of importance in determining the shape to give an airplane fuselage. It is our task here to show how the lift and drag are affected, with the object placed obliquely to the air stream" (p. 1).

Theory of Determination of Ultra-Radio Frequencies by Standing Waves on Wires

Description: Scientific paper issued by the Bureau of Standards over ultra-radio frequencies. As stated in the abstract, "this paper furnishes the theoretical background for the method of frequency standardization employing short standing waves on parallel wires" (p. 487). This paper includes tables, and illustrations.
