An analysis of the errors in curve-fitting problems with an application to the calculation of stability parameters from flight data

Description: From Introduction: "It is shown in the body of this report that the solution to the error problem depends upon a more or less arbitrary definition, the only criterion as to the choice of the definition being the usefulness of the solution to which it leads. In this respect, it may be said of the method derived herein that it is not difficult to apply and appears to lead reasonable values of the errors."

An Analysis of the Effect of Structural Feedback on the Flutter of a Control Surface Having a Power-Boost System

Description: From Summary: "Such devices as leading- and trailing-edge flaps which are now in use on operational aircraft permit the attainment of maximum airplane lift coefficients, power-off, of the order of 2.8 (reference 1). Airfoil-section maximum lift coefficients as high as 5.5 have been obtained in wind-tunnel tests (see, for example, reference 2), and in a limited flight investigation airplane lift coefficients of 4.2 were obtained (reference 3)."
