A Report on the Kinematics of High Energy Electron Scattering

Description: "A convenient summary is given of useful formulas on the kinematics of high energy electron scattering together with a derivation of the relevant formulas for transforming from the center of mass to the laboratory system such parameters as scattering cross sections. The formulas derived hold for any two- body collision: the approximation (m = 0) employed for the electron scattering calculations is rigorously true for the elastic scattering of photons."

A Flight Investigation to Determine the Effectiveness of Mach Number 1.0, 1.2, and 1.41 Fuselage Indentations for Reducing the Pressure Drag of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing Configuration at Transonic and Low Supersonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting a flight investigation to determine the effectiveness of three fuselage indentations for reducing the pressure drag of a 45 degree sweptback-wing-body configuration at a range of Mach numbers. The results indicate that the supersonic area rule can be used to determine indentations with low pressure drag over a Mach number range in which the blunt leading edge is subsonic. Information about total drag and pressure drag is provided.

Concluding Report of Free-Spinning, Tumbling, and Recovery Characteristics of a 1/18-Scale Model of the Ryan X-13 Airplane, Coord. No. AF-199

Description: "An investigation has been completed in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a l/18-scale model of the Ryan X-13 airplane to determine its spin, recovery, and tumbling characteristics, and to determine the minimum altitude from which a belly landing could be made in case of power failure in hovering flight. Model spin tests were conducted with and without simulated engine rotation. Tests without simulated engine rotation indicated two types of spins: one, a slightly oscillatory flat spin… more

Wall Interference in a Perforated Wind Tunnel

Description: "The theory of cascades, made up of a series of flat plates placed one behind the other, is extended to the case where the impinging stream is not uniform, and the deduced properties of this cascade-flow are then applied to the study of the wall interference between such as cascade-like boundary and a vortex-source type of singularity. It is shown that the induced velocities, produced by the presence of such a wall, are equal to what is obtained by action of a suitably chosen 'reflected' singul… more

Effect of bluntness on transition for a cone and a hollow cylinder at Mach 3.1

Description: Bluntness was more effective in displacing transition downstream on a cylinder than on a cone. The downstream displacement of transition is related to the formation of a shock layer within which the Reynolds and Mach numbers are reduced and to pressure gradients that exist over the forward part of the model. Round bluntness in general had a favorable effect, whereas sharp-cornered flat bluntness above a certain size had unfavorable effects on the location of the transition point.

Some Effects of Valve Friction and Shock Stick Friction on Control Quality in a Helicopter With Hydraulic-Power Control Systems

Description: Note presenting tests of a hydraulic-power-controlled helicopter to determine the effect of friction in the servovalves and the effect of stick friction when the valve friction is present. The tests showed that, when the valve friction is equivalent to about 1 3/4 pounds of force at the stick, precision flying is difficult and more work is required of the pilot.

Appraisal of the Hazards of Friction-Spark Ignition of Aircraft Crash Fires

Description: Note presenting a study to determine if common aircraft metals produce friction sparks capable of igniting combustibles that might be spilled in an airplane crash. Samples of aluminum, titanium, magnesium, chrome-molybdenum steel, and stainless steel were dragged over concrete and asphalt runways while a combustible mixture of gasoline, JP-4 fuel, kerosene, or preheated oil was sprayed around the sample.

Characteristics of a 40 Degree Cone for Measuring Mach Number, Total Pressure, and Flow Angles at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Note presenting an experimental investigation conducted to determine the characteristics of a 40 degree cone for use in the measurement of Mach number, total pressure, and flow angles. The cone had a total-pressure orifice at the apex and four equally spaced static-pressure orifices on the surface and pressure measurements were taken at a range of angles of pitch, Mach numbers, and Reynolds numbers. Results regarding cone pressure distribution, determination of Mach number, determination of tot… more

Preliminary Report on the Stratigraphy of the Park City and Phosphoria Formations and an Analysis of the Distribution of Phosphate in Utah

Description: "The Purpose of this paper is to present a preliminary discussion of the stratigraphy of the park city and phosphoric formations with special emphasis on the phosphatic parts and to discuss the distribution of phosphate in Utah. The Mississippian deposits are discussed only briefly because of the lack of new data concerning them"

Investigation of Static Stability and Drag Characteristics of a 1/10-Scale Model of the Avco Booster Vehicle at Mach Numbers of 1.60 and 2.00, Coord. No. AF-AM-58

Description: "An investigation has been conducted in the Langley Unitary Plan Wind tunnel to determine the static stability and drag characteristics of a 1/10-scale model of the AVCO booster vehicle. The tests were made at a constant Reynolds number, based on maximum nose diameter, of 1.09 x 10(exp 6)6 at Mach numbers of 1.60 and 2.00" (p. 1).

Comments on the Transportation of Irradiated Fuel and Radioactive Wastes for M Louis Armand, Euratom Group

Description: General considerations involving the transportation of irradiated fuel and radioactive wastes are reviewed. It is assumed that many reactors will supply feed to a few large multipurpose chemical plants which ultimately send radioactive waste to a few disposal sites. General economic considerations of irradiated fuel reprocessing, economic aspects of the nuclear economy complex, growth predictions of the nuclear power economy in the U.S., general requirements for the shipment of fuel and waste, … more

Perforated sheets as the porous material for a suction-flap application

Description: Two-dimensional tests were made of an NACA 0006 airfoil with area suction applied to a porous region on a 0.3-chord trailing-edge flap deflected 50 degrees. The lift with suction approached the value computed from thin-airfoil theory. The lift gains and suction quantity requirements were unaffected by the perforation patterns of the surface over a wide range of hole sizes and spacings.
