Phys. Ed. and Recreation To Meet In Chicago Hester Beth Bland, Doctor of Health and Safety, Health Education Consultant at the Indiana State Board of Health, and President of the Midwest Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, will sound the gavel to open the 43rd annual convention of the Association. The convention will be held at the *Statler Hotel, in Detroit, Michigan, March 27*-29. A native of Sullivan, Indiana, Doctor Bland obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana State Teachers’ College and a

Doctor's degree from Twdfna University. Formerly a teacher of social studies, health, and physical education in the Sullivan and Speedway, Indiana, schools, she has been a member of the State Board of Health since 1947. Dr. Bland is an outstanding and devoted member of the health, physical education and recreation profession, and is presently serving as Executive Secretary of the Indiana Public Health Association, along with her many and varied other activities. The Detroit convention will attract members of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation professions from the entire midwest area. Educational ses-

sions on all phaser ot health, physical education, and recreation will be held, as well as demonstrations of skills and techniques of high school sports by Michigan high school students, at coaching dinics. The convention, banquet will feature Miss Dorothy Thompson, America’s foremost woman political columnist, who will speak on “The New Challenge To The West.” Another feature will be panel discussions of “Teenage Problems In Recreation.” The convention will close on Friday, March 29, when King McCristal, from Michigan State University is installed as President of the Midwest Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation.

allison cmmwmn . propeuir rams Allison test pUets ialndiaMpte' lis have made research simulating extreme icing rnndlwi tions and their findings strongly indicate deicing equipment on propellers may become a thing of the past. The general aviation industry for years has accepted a 14 per cent loss in propeller efficiency when propellers were iced. Actual stabilized flight data during the Allison tests reveal only a four per cent loss in propeller efficiency trom typical ice formation. The Allison Turbo - Liner, equipped with Allison 501-Dl3 Prop-Jet engines and Aeroproducts 13% foot diameter threebladed propellers, was used during tests. The engines and propellers are prototypes of those to be used in the Lockheed Electra commercial transport. The propeller icing tests were conducted at Allison’s flight test facility un- < der the direction of Aeroproducts engineers as well as Allison flight test personnel. . - The numerous speed-power flights were made without ice j configuration to establish an accurate base-line for comparative data. Later, a special polystyrene plastic block was adhered to the leading edge of each propeller blade and then carefully handcarved to simulate extreme ice formations. Photographs of actual iced propellers were used as a pattern for the polystyrene carvings. The Turbo-Liner was then flown through the same patterns under identical engine-propeller operating conditions.

Grossing out between 36,000 and 40,000 pounds on the J 1 flights made, the Turbo-Liner was flown at two altitudes; first, at 10,000 and then at 25,000 feet under both configuration. The higher altitude tests were made to include the possible effect of compressibility on blade performance. True airspeeds ranged from 250 to 400 mph. The initial data were secured by selecting each of five turbine inlet temperatures: 700, 750, 800, 850, and 925 degrees centigrade which correspond to cruise and climb engine power at both altitudes. Airspeeds were stabilized for approximately five minutes before recording the data with a photo observer. Emphasis was placed on matching actual engine shaft torque values observed on the preceding flights without ice configuration in order to minimize data spread. An Allison electronic torquemeter was used to record shaft horsepower to the reduction gear box. Horsepower losses through windage, friction, and accessory drives were accounted for to establish net horsepower to the Aeroproducts propeller. Although no specific airplane performance data with the iced propellers were taken on takeoffs and landings, the pilots reported only mild roughness was present and on noticeable loss in performance was recognizable. The Allison test pilots noted with interest that within the variations of actual gross weights experienced during the tests, the data showed speed was independent of weight. Several tests were cross-checked at different gross weights on the same flight under controlled conditions and the airspeed was unaffected. De-icer boots on the leading edges of propellers, standard equipment on transport type aircraft, have been measured to cause .an efficiency loss of two per cent, which of course, is present at all times. This two per cent loss represents one-half of the loss due to extreme icing conditions without boots. Extreme icing conditions are encountered only five per cent of the operating time.

Although the four per cent loss is small compared to the accepted 14 per cent value, the Allison' test pilots were quick to point out possible aircraft damage might arise due to ice slinging and possible propeller unbalanee. However, any unsymmetrical ice loss from any one blade would result in immediate propeller rotational unbalance, thereby causing the remaining blades to shed their retained ice. Their findings to date will be turned over to Civil Aeronautics Administration, the airlines, and airframe manufacturers for additional review. PAPER SALE JUNIOR HIGH C.Y.F. SATURDAY.
