This report collects and summarises the results of work that has been done both in this and other countries on the aerodynamic characteristics of flaps prior to and during the period of the war. The report has both a ...

Three related methods are presented for calculating the skin friction and other characteristics in the laminar boundary layer on a non-adiabatic wall of constant temperature in the presence of pressure gradients. The first ...

The increasing attention which high-lift devices are receiving makes it desirable that a summary of the present information on lateral control with high-lift devices should be available. The devices considered are classified ...

It is shown on the basis of the linearised theory that the effects of compressibility on the lift and hinge-moment characteristics of a wing and full-span control are functions of aspect ratio. With reduction in aspect ...

Over a period of years a considerable amount of stalling research on various aeroplanes was completed at the Royal Aircraft Establishment and it was considered desirable that the main results should be summarised and ...
