The effect of list-system airflow on the hull aerodynamics of hovercraft

An attempt has been made to provide a better understanding of the influence of aerodynamic characteristics on the handling qualities of amphibious hovercraft. This is the third and final report of a series of three reports in which the following have been explored. i) Aerodynamic characteristics of related hovercraft shapes; ii) the effect of...

The calibration of a 60º cone to measure Mach number, total pressure and flow angles at supersonic speeds

The characteriatics of a 60° apex angle cone for measuring local Mach number, total pressure, and flow directions have been determined at Mach numbers of 2.47, 3.25, 3.97 and 4.32 at angles of pitch up to 29°.

Calibration of the flow in the Mach 4 working section of the 4ft. x 3ft. High-Supersonic-Speed Wind Tunnel at R.A.E., Bedford

Mach number and flow angle distributions in the working section of the Mach 4 nozzle of the 4 ft x 3 ft High-Supersonic-Speed Wind Tunnel are presented for a range of total pressure and humidity.
