Written on the eve of World War II, this brief but intensive introduction by one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory deals with the basic problems of aerodynamics. 1941 edition.

Includes the Committee's Technical reports no. 1-1058, reprinted in v. 1-37.

Elevated-temperature compressive-strength test results from room temperature to 600 degrees F and creep test results from 350 degrees F to 500 degrees F are presented for V-groove edge-supported plates of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The test data are compared with calculations obtained from procedures for estimating maximum strength from material stress-strain curves and creep-failure stresses from isochronous stress-strain curves. The strength and creep results from this investigation are also compared with similar results from 2024-T3 aluminum-alloy plates.
