    NACA WR L-176

    The larc search engine didn't return the document, but just after I posted the message I remembered the larc 'browse' door for to-be-indexed documents: http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/digidoc/report/ The report is there. Thanks

    The End of Mil-Hdbk-5

    Will: Re CINDAS ASMH -- By Cindas' own disclaimer, the data presented is 'typical' and not 'statistically derived design data' (ie, A- or B-basis data) and as such is a complement/supplement to the likes of MIL-HDBK-5. And while they also attempt to provide references to testing methods, etc...

    Static Fastener Strength Evaluations for Doublers

    Joe: Other than fatigue what purpose would be served by analysis of the doubler installation at limit load? Local deformation with loss of sealing or perhaps electrical grounding? Russ Royal Aeromec Inc.

    Epoxy Primer

    I'm looking to identify a diester-resistant epoxy primer equivalent to Shorts Aircraft specification P-Spec (?) 910. Is anyone familiar with that spec, and if so is MIL-PRF-23377 equivalent? Or is there another Mil-spec more appropriate? Thanks Russ Royal r.royal@aeromec.com

    ANC 3 Water loads for float planes.

    Nigel: MIL-A-8864 (Airplane Strength and Rigidity, Water and Handling Loads for Seaplanes) is another source for loads. Similar to NAS807. FAR 23.533 is a source of pressure data for float design. And the pressure load diagrams of FAR 23 Appendix I appear to be from NAS807. I have...
