INTRODUCTION Under the terms of an interagency agreement with the Federal Aviation Admin- istration this publication has been prepared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the joint use of both agencies and the scientific and technical community concerned with the field of aeronautical engineering. This supplement to Aeronautical Eiigiiieering-A Special Bibliography (NASA SP-7037) lists 540 reports, journal articles, and other documents originally announced in July 1971 in Scieiitific aiid Techiiical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in Iiitertiatioiial Aerospace Abstracts (ZAA). For previous bibliographies in this series, see inside of front cover. The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects ?f design, construction, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (includ- ing aircraft engines) and associated components, equipment, and systems. It also in- cludes research and development in aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accom- panied by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged in two major sections, IAA Eiitries and STAR Eiitries in that order. The citations and abstracts are reproduced exactly as they appeared originally in IAA or STAR, including the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. This procedure, which saves time and money, accounts for the slight variation in citation appearances. Three indexes-subject, personal author, and contract number-are included. An annual cumulative index wiii >e published. iii AVAILABILITY OF CITED PUBLICATIONS IAA ENTRIES (A71-'10000 Series) All publications abstracted in this Section are available from the Technical Information Service, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., (AIAA), as follows: Paper copies are available at $5.00 per document up to a maximum of 20 pages.
