Aeronautic Progress and the N.A.C.A.

For the first time in aerodynamic research history, tests of a full scale airplane are to be made in a wind tunnel sufficiently large for this purpose. This tunnel, which is by far the largest in the world, has just been completed at Langley Field and, together with a recently constructed towing basin, also of gigantic proportions, was dedicated during the recent N.A.C.A. Conference.

Strength of Continuous Beams

A METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF CONTINUOUS BEAMS, by J. A. Newlin and Geo. W. Tracer; N.A.C.A. Technical Report No. 347. IN employing the usual theory of three moments to calculate maximum load conditions, it is assumed that the relation of moments does not change when the elastic limit of the material is passed.
