Effect of Countersunk Depth on the Tightness of Two Types of Machine-Countersunk Rivet

Description: Bulletin presenting an investigation conducted to determine the effect of countersunk depth on the tightness of two types of machine-countersunk flush rivet. The specimens tested in the study were simple lap joints made by two different riveting methods. The results indicated that roundheaded rivets inserted from the back of the joint with the countersunk heads formed int he driving of the rivets produce tighter joints over a large range of depths than ordinary flush rivets.

Determination of desirable lengths of Z- and channel-section columns for local-instability tests

Description: From Summary: "Local-instability tests of 24S-T aluminum-alloy formed Z- and channel-section columns were made in order to determine a length of test specimen that would avoid the increased strength associated with short lengths and also permit the occurrence of a convenient buckling pattern. The effect of column length on the critical compressive stress, on the average stress at maximum load, and on the number of half-waves of the buckling pattern is shown."

Use of Variable-Ratio Geared Tabs to Improve Stick-Force Characteristics in Turning Flight

Description: Report discussing the use of variable-ratio geared tabs with an experimental elevator to improve stick-force characteristics in turning flight. The stick forces with the tabs were found to be satisfactory for a variety of center-of-gravity ranges. The ability of pilots to use the controls is also described.

Relative Effects of Cylinder-Head and Inlet-Mixture Temperatures Upon Knock Limits of Fuels

Description: Report discusses an investigation into the relation between the effects of cylinder-head temperature and inlet-mixture temperature on the knock limits of fuels. The tests were run at a constant fuel-air ratio and the decrease in cylinder-head temperature required to offset the effect of increasing the inlet-mixture temperature on knock-limited power was determined. The apparatus and testing procedure are described and the effect of changes in cylinder-head temperature on the knock limit of any … more

Spinning of Large Airplanes

Description: Report discusses the problem of large airplanes spinning and the fact that they should not be intentionally spun because they are not designed for the loads and speeds that may be encountered in spin and recovery. Stall and spin characteristics for large airplanes are described. Recommended piloting procedures in case of a large airplane spinning event are also provided.

Use of Stagnation Temperature in Calculating Rate of Heat Transfer in Aircraft Heat Exchangers

Description: "Theoretical and experimental investigations of the effect of frictional heat on the rate of heat transmission at high fluid velocities are briefly reviewed. On the basis of these investigations, calculations are made which show that the use of the stagnation temperature of the cooling air as the effective temperature for heat transfer in an aircraft heat exchanger is sufficiently accurate" (p. 1).
