    This report is a compilation of reprints of papers and articles describing the aircraft design group projects for the period between 1979 to 1996. In Crdeld projects, each student takes responsibility for part of the ...
  • Design charts for carbon fibre composites 
    Tetlow, R. (Cranfield Institute of Technology, 1958)
    This report contains charts of elastic properties and buckling coefficients of a simply supported compression panel, based on theory of multi layer plates of orthotorpic material, for a typical carbon fibre composite. In ...
  • The Design of Michell Optimum Structures 
    Chan, A. S. L. (Cranfield College of Aeronautics, 1960-12)
    The fundamental problem of structural design is the determination of structures of minimum weight which safely equilibrate a given system of external forces. The classical theorem of Michell gave basic requirements for ...
  • Design Synthesis for Canard-Delta Combat Aircraft (Optimization) 
    Serghides, V. C. (Cranfield Institute of Technology; College of Aeronautics, 1988-10)
  • The determination in flight of the body drag and the mean blade profile drag coefficient of a helicopter 
    Bartholomew, F. E.; Marshall, W. S. D. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1952-04)
    Slight modifications have been made to the energy equation which enables the results of partial climb tests to be plotted as two straight lines, the slopes of which are measures of the body drag of the helicopter and the ...
  • Development of satellite telecommunications during the period 1990-2005 
    Kumar, D. (1993)
    The global telecommunications market is in the midst of a radical restructuring program. This is driven by the desire of governments to increase competition in existing markets and of companies to diversify their service ...
  • The diffusion of loads in non-rigid circular frames 
    Lewis, S. R. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1950-02)
    This report extends the work of W. J. Goodey, and gives numerical examples of the shear distribution around a frame subjected to a single concentrated radial load for variations in the parameters, such as, frame stiffness, ...
  • Dislocations and twinning in graphite 
    Kennedy, A. J. (College of Aeronautics, 1960-04)
    The twin composition plane in graphite is a 20o tilt boundary between lattices which are rotated, relatively, about an axis In the basal plane. Previous work has led to the proposition that some special type of structure ...
  • The displacement effect of pitot tubes in narrow wakes at subsonic and supersonic speeds 
    Marson, G. B. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1956-10)
    The apparent displacement of the effective centre of a circular pitot tube from it geometric centre when placed in narrow wakes has been measured at sub and super- sonic speeds. Similar effects were found at all speeds. ...
  • The distribution of pressure over the surface of wings of small aspect ratio 
    Marshall, W. S. D. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1952-02)
    The distribution of pressure over wings of aspect ratio 1.5 and 0.5 have been measure for a range of incidences up to and including the stall at various angles of yaw. This report presents a detailed analysis of the results ...
  • The drag of source distributions in linearized supersonic flow 
    Ward, G. N. (Cranfield College of Aeronautics, 1955-02)
    Most bodies whose wave drags in supersonic flow have been calculated by linearised theory are such that the flows can be represented by a suitable distribution of sources. The present paper extends this idea by considering ...
  • The drag of spheres at porosites ranging from an isolated sphere to a packed bed 
    Pike, J. (Cranfield Institute of Technology. College of Aeronautics, 1990)
  • The dry-bed problem in shallow-water flows 
    Toro, E. F. (Cranfield Institute of Technology; College of Aeronautics, 1990)
  • Dynamic aeroelasticity of aircraft with swept wings 
    Radok, J. R. M. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1952-04)
    Using oblique coordinates, integro-differential equations of motion of aircraft with swept wings are deduced from Hamilton’s Principle for the dynamic problems of aero-elasticity, i.e. for the problems of free vibrations, ...
  • The dynamic loading of spur gear teeth 
    Dunmore, J. H. (College of Aeronautics, 1959-10)
    In this report, description of the first stage of some work on the dynamic loading of gear teeth is given. The work has been performed on a power circulating gear rig, using gears of 9 inch P. C. D., 4 D.P., and 1/2 ...
  • Dynamics of shuttle based flexible antenna system 
    Moch, M. (1992)
    The aim of this thesis is to formulate a reduced dynamical model for the Shuttle based astro-mast antenna system by using a four degree of freedom model. Four degrees of freedom are considered sufficently representative ...
  • The economics of aircraft production : a study of the control of overhead costs in aircraft manufacture 
    Twiss, B. C. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield., 1954-03)
    This paper represents an attempt to appraise the different factors which must be considered in applying modern methods of cost control to aircraft production, and to suggest those positive measures best calculated to effect ...
  • The effect of curvature on the stress concentrations around holes in shells 
    Houghton, D. S.; Rothwell, A. (College of Aeronautics, 1962-05)
    An experimental investigation has been carried out to investigate the effect of curvature on the stress concentrations around holes in shell structures. Two methods have been employed: - (I) Araldite cylinders, containing ...
  • The effect of density on jet flow at subsonic speeds 
    Craven, A. H. (College of Aeronautics, 1959-07)
    On the assumption that the velocity and density distributions across a jet of one gas issuing into a stream of a second gas are of exponential form, the momentum integral approach has been employed to find the variation ...
