The problems of static and dynamic longitudinal stability both at high speeds and at low speeds are discussed and data are presented which indicate recent progress made in the solution of these problems.
Report presenting an investigation of the problems of static and dynamic longitudinal stability both at high speeds and low speeds as well as information about progress that has been made to solve these problems. The incorporation of large amounts of sweepback on both the wing and horizontal tail can improve the rate of trim changes and stability. Longitudinal stability has been attained for configurations with a sweep angle of 45 degrees with stall-control devices, but experimental proof is needed for these devices.
Report presenting an investigation of the properties of hydrazine, stability and corrosiveness with a number of construction materials, sensitivity to detonation and temperature, and spontaneous reaction with the oxidants, concentrated hydrogen peroxide, sodium permanganate solution, fuming nitric acid, and tetranitromethane. Results regarding corrosion and stability, sensitivity to temperature and detonation, and theoretical calculations are provided.
An investigation is being conducted to determine the altitude performance characteristics of the British Nene II engine and its components. The present paper presents the preliminary results obtained using a standard jet nozzle. The test results presented are for conditions simulating altitudes from sea level to 60,000 feet and ram pressure ratios from 1.0 to 2.3. These ram pressure ratios correspond to flight Mach numbers between zero and 1.16 assuming a 100 percent ram recovery.
"A theoretical analysis is given for the stresses and deflections of a square plate with clamped edges under normal pressure producing large deflections. Values of the bending stress and membrane stress at the center of the plate and at the midpoint of the edge are given for center deflections up to 1.9 times the plate thickness. The shape of the deflected surface is given for low pressures and for the highest pressure considered" (p. 209).
"This report presents the results of pilot observations and photographs of the compression shock wave on the wing of an airplane in flight. A detailed description of the test conditions necessary and the procedure to be following in producing the visible shock are presented. The pilot's observations of the occurrence of an oscillating shock wave and its possible relationship with the airplane buffeting are also presented" (p. 1).
