The Forces and Moments on Airplane Engine Mounts

Description: "A resume of the equations and formulas for the forces and moments on an aircraft-engine mount is presented. In addition, available experimental data have been included to permit the computation of these forces and moments. A sample calculation is made and compared with present design conditions for engine mounts" (p. 1).

Forces and Moments on a Yawed Airfoil

Description: "The author elaborates on the flow phenomena, forces and moments on airfoils in yaw. The existing experiments with straight wings (zero dihedral), wings with dihedral, and wings with sweepback are evaluated within the range of sound angles of attack, explained by calculation and generally enlarged" (p. 1).

Tests of a Full-Scale Model of the Republic XF-91 Airplane in the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel. - Force and Moment Data

Description: "Wind-tunnel tests of a full-scale model of the Republic XF-91 airplane having swept-back wings and a vee tail were conducted to determine both the stability and control characteristics of the model longitudinally, laterally, and directionally. Configurations of the model were investigated involving such variables as external fuel tanks, a landing gear, trailing-edge flaps, leading-edge slats, and a range of wing incidences and tail incidences" (p. 1).
