The Avro "Avian" Airplane: 65 HP. Armstrong-Siddeley "Genet" Engine

Description: The Avro Avian, designed by Mr. Chadwick of A.V. Roe & Co., Ltd. has a very low structural weight (estimated at 750 lbs. empty) but with sufficient structural integrity to be eligible of an "Aerobatics" certificate from the British Air Ministry. It can be configured as a monoplane, or a biplane with seaplane floats. It is designed for economical production.

Cooling of Air-Cooled Engines by Forced Circulation of Air

Description: This report presents the results of experiments on aerodynamic fuselages in which an air current is forced into the nose of the fuselage by the action of several fans revolving with the propeller. The air is then guided by special deflectors which cause it to flow along the exhaust pipes and cylinders and then, after having been utilized, pass out through annular ports. This system of cooling worked perfectly at all speeds.

The Drag of Airships : II - Drag of Bare Hulls

Description: "The extension of wind tunnel tests of models of airship hulls to full scale requires an extension from a VL of the order of less than 500 sq.ft./sec., to that of 80000 sq.ft./sec., where V = air speed, feet per second, L = length in feel of the particular form of hull. The reason for this research was to furnish the airship designer with a method for finding the VL curve of any conventional type of hull, using data obtained from actual performance of airships flown prior to 1926" (p. 1).

Effect of Protruding Gasoline Tanks Upon the Characteristics of an Airfoil

Description: Note presenting an investigation to determine the effect of a gasoline tank protruding from the center section of a wing on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing. The results are presented in the form of polar curves, curves of D/L against lift coefficient, and the curves of lift and drag coefficient against the angle of attack.

Spindled and Hollow Spars

Description: "The most usual method of arriving at the maximum amount of spindling or hollowing out permissible in the case of any particular spar section is by trial and error, a process which is apt to become laborious in the absence of good guessing - or luck. The following tables have been got out with the object of making it possible to arrive with certainty at a suitable section at the first attempt" (p. 1).
