    As a result of the experiment and computation of data, the aerofoil was found to have a critical Mach number of M=0.732. Below this freestream Mach number the Prandtl-Glauert law predicted results very successfully. However, above this value, the law completely breaks down. This was found to be the result of local regions of supersonic flow and local shockwaves.…

    The purpose of this research paper is show that winglets have benefits and drawbacks, and that the airliners that are currently using these devices have a competitive advantage compared to an airliner without winglets. Since the first winglet were first installed in 1977, on a LearJet 28. These small aerodynamic devices have proven to be beneficial and also have drawbacks. Winglets have since proven to save airliners and private owners thousands of dollars, but these devices due not come cheap. This paper will discuss how winglets have benefits and drawbacks that are proven to be more beneficial in the long run. Also this paper will discuss that having winglets are beneficial and airliners that are installing winglets have reduced their fuel consumption as early as 2000. Finally, this project will conclude that winglets do not just benefit a plane in its fuel consumption, but are enhancing the aircrafts performance with mileage and reducing cost for those that are flying within the plane.…

    When it comes to the Chinese in America the are not seen as one of the first settlers here in California/ America, but they were. Also during the gold rush is when one of the biggest ethnicity of immigrants were Chinese. The Chinese have made great contributions in the United States mostly in labor during the transcontinental railroad uprise in the 19th century. Instead of being seen as great hard working cheap labors the Chinese were discriminated against and look down upon in the White society. In reality the Chinese brought us new great agriculture, industrial development and commercial fisheries. Without the Chinese America may have not developed its infinite ways of new evolutionary expansion during those times. In the 21st century we…

    A rotorcraft’s fuselage or structure must be strong and light weight while its flight controls agile and reliable. The type of rotor system designed is very important as well. There are two types commonly found on rotary-wing aircraft today. They are a fully articulated or semi-rigid under slung see saw type rotor system. Both have their own advantages and dis-advantages over the other. The fully articulated rotor system is complex by design, it has excellent control authority in the pitch and roll axis. It also typically has more than two rotor blades which reduces sound signature and increases control authority in the pitch and roll axis controlled by the cyclic due to its solidity ratio. The semi-rigid rotor system is a much simpler design thus, it cost significantly less to maintain but control authority in the pitch and roll axis is sluggish compared to the fully articulated rotor system due to its lower solidity ratio.…

    German professor Ludwig Prandtl presents one of the most important papers in the history of aerodynamics, an eight-page document describing the concept of a fixed "boundary layer," the molecular layer of air on the surface of an aircraft wing. Over the next 20 years Prandtl and his graduate students pioneer theoretical aerodynamics.…

    A tandem wing aircraft has two main wings, with one located forward and the other to the rear, both wings contribute to lift. A lower first wing is located at the forward end of the fuselage attached directly to fuselage structure. A second higher wing is located at the aft end of the fuselage. Pitch control is achieved by increasing or decreasing the lift on either wing. In a tandem wing design the lift vectors on the two wings are spread far apart longitudinally, allowing them to act together to achieve stability and control.…
