Abstract
525,666. Aircraft wings. ARMSTRONG WHITWORTH AIRCRAFT, Ltd., Sir W. G., and TAYLOR, J. L. Feb. 25, 1939, No. 6259. [Class 4] A lifting wing of varying thickness along its chord and of which the mean thickness of the leading half is greater than that of the trailing half is designed to delay the attainment of a surface velocity equal to the local velocity of sound by placing the maximum camber or thickness, or both, at some points at least along its span nearer the trailing edge than in the case of a normal form of wing, and by placing the position of maximum camber or thickness progressively towards the trailing edge as the section thickness ratio increases. "Camber " at any point along a chord is defined as the height of the section centre line of the wing above that point of the chord, and a " normal form of wing " as a wing having the maximum camber and thickness of any section at a distance from the leading edge of the wing of between .2 and .35 of the chord. The improved wing section is shown in broken lines, the line 15 representing its maximum thickness. The ordinate 16 shows the maximum thickness of a normal form of wing section shown in full lines. The wing section may be symmetrical about its horizontal centre line. Specification 375,327 is referred to.
