NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1930 · 6 pictures

This is a 1930 NASA technical report on full-scale turning trials of the U.S.S. Los Angeles, a rigid airship, issued for aeronautical engineers and researchers. Its graphs plot true air speed, angular velocity, angular displacement, rudder angle and observed yaw against time in seconds, with a diagram of the ship's turning path. For designers, the pictures offer clean multi-line technical charts in black ink on white, with dashed and dotted curves and a plan diagram of the turn.
