Addendum to type record. Avro "Lancaster" Mk.1 P. A. 474 Type record No. 1/P1/Lancaster. Investigation of boundary layer conditions on wings. M.O.S. Contract No.6/Aircraft/9807/C. B. 6(a)
(College of Aeronautics, 1956-01) College of Aeronautics, Department of Aircraft Design
Introduction The investigation involves, briefly, the mounting of a wing of 45' sweep-back in a dorsal position on the fuselage of 'Lancaster' P.A.474 such that wing incidence will be variable in flight over a 20 range, i.e. ± 100. A ‘partial chord’ technique for swept wings has been established by the College using a similar wing mounting configuration on an Avro 'Anson' Aircraft and this technique has been applied to the current investigation.
