Abstract
IT is evident from Mr. Bairstow's National Physical Laboratory papers that the notion of “resistance derivatives” is likely to play a permanent part in the experimental study of aeroplane motions, as well as in the theoretical rigid dynamics associated with them. It therefore becomes important to have a uniform nomenclature for these quantities which shall be independent of the choice of axes, and thus free from any possible ambiguity or source of difficulty.
