New R.A.F. Types

New R.A.F. Types ALTHOUGH the Defiant is scarcely a new aeroplane, it makes an interesting comparison with the RollsRoyce Merlin singleengined types already illustrated in this series. It is a conventional allmetal monoplane of stressedskin construction. The rather curious plan of the main plane, with its double taper, represents a compromise between the acrodynamically perfect ellipse and the easilyproduced straight taper and the reason for it is explained in the accompanying article. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

ALTHOUGH the Defiant is scarcely a new aeroplane, it makes an interesting comparison with the RollsRoyce Merlin singleengined types already illustrated in this series. It is a conventional allmetal monoplane of stressedskin construction. The rather curious plan of the main plane, with its double taper, represents a compromise between the acrodynamically perfect ellipse and the easilyproduced straight taper and the reason for it is explained in the accompanying article.
