Method of curved models and its application to the study of curvilinear flight of airships. Part I

摘要

In the first part of this paper we shall present the theoretical side of the problem of constructing curved model forms and the method of testing the model. In the second part we shall present a detailed account of the first experiments according to the given method, carried out with a curved model of the nonrigid airship V-2, and a comparison of the experimental results with some data of full-scale tests made with this airship in 1933.
