  • Changing pattern of aeronautical education in the UK

  • G.J. Hancock
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 July 2016, pp. 200-205

  • Alec Young spent over 30 years in academic life. He has been active, not only in nurturing the teaching of and research in aeronautical engineering, first in the Aerodynamics Department at Cranfield College of Aeronautics, and then in the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Queen Mary College, but also in participating in wider academic developments as Vice Principal of Queen Mary College and as Senator of the University of London. Hence, it is appropriate that in such a tribute, there should be an article on an academic topic. A review of undergraduate aeronautical engineering education, its past, present, and future, has been chosen. Such a review is timely as a contribution to the current debate on engineering education in general, initiated by the newly formed Engineering Council.

Research Article

  • The flows over tapered flat plates normal to the stream

  • M. Gaster, P. J. Ponsford
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 July 2016, pp. 206-212

  • Experimental measurements of the separated flows around a range of tapered flat plates normal to a uniform stream are presented. Both the surface pressures and velocities in the wake are discussed. It turns out that even slight taper can modify the wake region of the flow significantly, and so produce a surprising degree of three-dimensionality into the overall flow structure. These experimental results point to the dangers in applying simple strip theories to highly separated flows.

    Aerodynamic theory has evolved over the years to describe the flow fields around streamlined aircraft and their components, so as to provide, amongst other quantities, accurate estimates of the aerodynamic forces and moments.
