  • Australia in Empire Air Transport

  • W. Hudson Fysh
  • Journal:
    The Aeronautical Journal / Volume 50 / Issue 421 / January 1946
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    28 July 2016, pp. 21-72

  • It is a great honour to have been asked by The Royal Aeronautical Society to give the foundation British Commonwealth and Empire Lecture, and I have accepted, having in mind the Australian pioneers of the air from whose past has sprung the beginning of our Australian part in the common effort of to-day.

    I would like to congratulate the Society on founding this lecture, which it takes little prediction to forecast will grow into one of the most important annual aviation events in the Empire–as well as facilitating the assembling together in the Journal of information, opinion and suggestion from the four corners of the Empire. This, in itself, is only made possible by air travel, and as an illustration of what can be done, you should know that this is my third visit to this country from Australia in this year of 1945.

  • Wind Tunnels

  • W. Widgery
  • Journal:
    The Aeronautical Journal / Volume 31 / Issue 200 / August 1927
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    28 July 2016, pp. 799-806

  • The wind channel and the whirling arm have been devised and perfected over a period of a number of years with a view to providing reliable aerodynamic data for aircraft designers. Of late years the wind channel has been used considerably more than the whirling arm.

    In the two pieces of apparatus distinct methods are used. In the whirling arm the model is carried through the air, which is stationary, in a circular path by a long arm. In the wind channel, on the other hand, the model is stationary and a current of air is caused to flow past it.

    Various types of wind channel have been evolved, but I intend to describe fully the English wind channel in its present form, as perfected by the National Physical Laboratory and the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough.

  • The History and Progress of Refuelling in Flight

  • Alan Cobham, Marcus Langley
  • Journal:
    The Aeronautical Journal / Volume 44 / Issue 355 / July 1940
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    28 July 2016, pp. 557-603

  • My experimental work in flight refuelling goes back over a period of ten years, when I became interested in its possibilities as a means of removing the hazard' of a heavily loaded take-off. My idea was that an aircraft should have a normal and safe take-off, and that when it was comfortably in the air, it should receive its load of fuel, thus being given both an extended range and an increased1 pay-load.

    In 1932, initial experiments were carried out on two D.H. 9's, and early in 1933, we continued experiments with a D.H.9 and a Handley Page W.iotransport machine.
