Adaptation of aeronautical engines to high altitude flying

Description: Report discussing Issues and techniques relative to the adaptation of aircraft engines to high altitude flight. Covered here are the limits of engine output, modifications and characteristics of high altitude engines, the influence of air density on the proportions of fuel mixtures, methods of varying the proportions of fuel mixtures, the automatic prevention of fuel waste, and the design and application of air pressure regulators to high altitude flying. Summary: 1. Limits of engine output. 2.… more

Air Resistance Measurements on Actual Airplane Parts

Description: "For the calculation of the parasite resistance of an airplane, a knowledge of the resistance of the individual structural and accessory parts is necessary. The most reliable basis for this is given by tests with actual airplane parts at airspeeds which occur in practice. The data given here relate to the landing gear of a Siemanms-Schuckert DI airplane; the landing gear of a 'Luftfahrzeug-Gesellschaft' airplane (type Roland Dlla); landing gear of a 'Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen' G airplane; a m… more

Analysis of Dr. Schaffran's Propeller Model Tests

Description: Note presenting an analysis of the propeller model tests of Dr. Schaffran. Only the thrust is examined. The results indicate that the thrust produced by three-blade and four-blade propellers follows the same laws as with two-blade propellers, and that all conclusions reached from Dr. Durand's tests can be upheld.

Determination of Climbing Ability

Description: "The vertical distribution of the pressure, temperature, and density of the atmosphere varies from day to day. Thus, rates of climb on different days cannot be compared directly, but must be corrected with reference to a standard rate of diminution of air density with increasing altitude. The following problem, therefore, has to be solved" (p. 1).

Disturbing Effect of Free Hydrogen on Fuel Combustion in Internal Combustion Engines

Description: "Experiments with fuel mixtures of varying composition, have recently been conducted by the Motor Vehicle and Airplane Engine Testing Laboratories of the Royal Technical High School in Berlin and at Fort Hahneberg, as well as at numerous private engine works. The behavior of hydrogen during combustion in engines and its harmful effect under certain conditions, on the combustion in the engine cylinder are of general interest. Some of the results of these experiments are given here, in order to e… more

Downwash of Airplane Wings

Description: "The data for the calculation of the air forces acting on the elevators, obtained from previous model experiments are not immediately applicable in practice, as the angle at which the control surfaces meet the air stream is, in general, still unknown. The air stream, when it reaches the elevator has already been deflected by the wings and although the velocity imparted to the air current by the wings is of negligible amount compared with the speed of flight, the air behind the wings has been de… more

Experiments With a Built-In or Fuselage Radiator

Description: "The experiments discussed here were performed to determine whether radiators having similar cooling properties offer less resistance when incorporated into the fuselage, than when the hitherto customary arrangement is employed, with the radiator in the free air current more or less independent of the fuselage. The experiments indicated that the quantity of air flowing through the radiator is greatest when the fuselage and the radiator are separate. However, separate radiators cause more air re… more

Experiments With Fabrics for Covering Airplane Wings, to Determine Effect of Method of Installation

Description: Note presenting some information on the effect of changes in the loading and in the disposition of the supporting framework on the covering fabric. The magnitude of the air forces to be taken into account and the corresponding factors of safety to be expected will be covered in a future report. Tables regarding some of these fabric characteristics are provided.

Fittings and Other Structural Parts of Airplanes

Description: "The strength and reliability of airplanes depend greatly on the careful design and manufacture of fittings, couplings, and other highly stressed parts. The more important parts of the airplane must be occasionally tested for increased loads and in order to avoid the possibility of defects creeping in during subsequent production. Strength tests are discussed for fittings for wing spar joints, fittings for strut connections, internal bracing, control gear, and landing gear" (p. 1).

The flexible mounting of an airplane engine

Description: Discussed here is the suggested installation of the 'unbalanced' 8-cylinder VE-engine. The suggestion was that a flexible mounting be used instead of bolting the engine rigidly to the airplane structure. It was concluded that a flexible connection between the engine and the airplane is probably possible. A flexible connection primarily diminishes the vibrations due to inertia and, to a lesser degree, those due to torque variation. However, engines vibrate more when freely suspended than when ri… more

Graphic Method for Calculating the Speed and Climbing Ability of Airplanes

Description: Note presenting a graphic method for calculating the speed and climbing ability of airplanes. This method starts from the actual power developed by the engine and makes it possible to determine all factors which together constitute what are known as flight performances for any combination of engine and airplane from the single graphic diagram given.
