Cross & Cockade International SERIALS with PHOTOGRAPHS
Cross & Cockade International THE FIRST WORLD WAR AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Registered Charity No 1117741 www.crossandcockade.com INDEX for SERIALS with PHOTOGRAPHS This is a provisional index of all the photographs of aircraft with serial numbers in the 46 years of the Cross & Cockade Journal. There are only photographs with identifiable serials, no other items are indexed. Following the Aircraft serial number is the make & model in parentheses, then page number format is: first the volume number, followed by the issue number (1 to 4) between periods with the page number(s) at the end. The cover pages use the last three characters with a 'c' (cover) 'f' - 'r'(front-rear), '1'(outside) '2' (inside). There are over 4180 entries in three categories, British individual aircraft, other countries individual aircraft, followed by airships & balloons. Regretfully, copies of the photographs are not available.

A/C SERIAL No.WG768 SECTION 2B INDIVIDUAL HISTORY SHORT SB5 WG768 MUSEUM ACCESSION NUMBER 85/A/06 Built as sole example of its type by Short Brothers and Harland at Sydenham, Belfast to specification ER.100, to contract 6/Aircraft/5347/CB.7 (a). This aircraft was used to find the optimum format for the planned English Electric P.1 interceptor, which became the Lightning supersonic fighter. It specifically investigated problems associated with low speed handling characteristics of swept back wings at speeds below 350 knots. Constructor’s number SH.1605. It could fly with different amount of wing sweep, though this could not be changed in flight, and with a conventional ‘T’ tail or low mounted tailplane. Ordered from Shorts as a way of checking the English Electric calculations on the Lightning, English Electric thought the project a wasted effort. 27 Jul 50 Allotted serial number WG768 2 Dec 52 Following delivery from Belfast by sea and road, first flight at A&AEE, Boscombe Down, with 50-degree wing sweep and high set fin-mounted tailplane. Pilot Tom Brooke-Smith. Completed its initial test schedule without incident within seven months, though very underpowered. 29 Jul 53 First flight with new 60 degree sweep wing; the aircraft had earlier been returned to Belfast for alteration of the wing angle by installing this new wing. Aug 53 Flown for first time by English Electric chief test pilot, Roland Beamont, who was in charge of the P.1 flight-testing programme; he felt that the T- tail was unsatisfactory. 5 Sep 53 Made its first public appearance at the S.B.A.C show at Farnborough, flown by Tom Brooke-Smith. -

Autogyro C-30 Fuselage Finite Element Model Analysis
BACHELOR'S THESIS Degree in Aerospace Engineering Autogyro C-30 Fuselage Finite Element Model Analysis Enrique Labiano Laserna Supervisor Jos´e D´ıaz Alvarez´ February 2019 Abstract The main objective of this paper is to design and analyze the autogyro C-30 fuse- lage structure. The autogyro, considered as a hybrid between an airplane and a helicopter, is one the most important milestone in aircraft aviation. It was invented by Juan De la Cierva and became the first rotary wing aircraft that achieved suc- cess. In fact, this kind of rotorcraft will have a lot of influence on how the helicopter operates nowadays. The project will be divided into several parts. Firstly, all the information and draw- ings of the fuselage structure will be gathered and analyzed. After that, the fuselage structure will be modeled in a finite element software, called Abaqus. Secondly, all parts that composed the autogyro will be determined and their weights will be esti- mated taking into account the MTOW of the aircraft. According to the regulations established in the British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCAR), loads will be introduced in the model simulating a symmetric pull-up maneuver. The scope of the study will involve a stress analysis and finally, a modal analysis in order to determine the natural frequencies of the structure. Finally, a socio-economic impact of designing an autogyro will be presented together with a rough budget of manufacturing the fuselage structure of the autogyro C-30. Keywords: Autogyro C-30, fuselage structure, FEM analysis, modal analysis iii Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank my parents and my brothers who have helped me from the beginning.
