A Scientific Data Base for the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough.

Abstract

After specifying the data handling problems within the Establishment, details are given of a scientific data base which has been developed for use by scientists, engineers and administrators. A specific problem from the aerodynamics field is described and used as an example illustrating the application of the data base. The conclusions are drawn that the use of a data base can confer benefits; that penalties have to be paid; that more experience is needed before the extent of the costs and benefits can be determined accurately.
