Roll Cladding Uranium-Zirconium and Uranium-Zirconium-Niobium Alloys with Zircaloy-2 for Plate-Type Fuel Elements

Description: From Abstract: "Investigations were made of alternate methods of bonding fuel shapes and the use of alternate core alloys in flat plates. Alternations and additions were made to development facilities needed to fabricate roll-clad plates for the EBWR core. Pilot production of EWBR-type plates proved that the plate cladding process could be adapted to production facilities."

Rocket-Model Investigation of the Rolling Effectiveness of a Fighter-Type Wing-Control Configuration at Mach Numbers From

Description: "An investigation of the rolling effectiveness of spoiler and aileron aerodynamic controls on a fighter-type airplane has been conducted at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.5 by the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Division by utilizing rocket-propelled test vehicles. No effects of mutual interference between the midspan spoiler and the outboard aileron were detectable. Above the speed of sound, the ailerons were relatively ineffective as compared with the spoiler because of wing twisting" (p. 1).

Some Interference Effects That Influence Vertical-Tail Loads at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting three types of aerodynamic interference originating from forward components of airplanes, which are shown to contribute to decreased vertical-tail effectiveness. The vorticity originating from a slender fuselage ahead of the wing resulted in a marked reduction in vertical-tail effectiveness with angle of attack for one model.

Aerodynamic Effects Caused by Icing of an Unswept NACA 65A004 Airfoil

Description: From Summary: "The effects of ice formations on the section lift, drag, and pitching-moment coefficients of an unswept NACA 65A004 airfoil section of 6-foot chord were studied.. The magnitude of the aerodynamic penalties was primarily a function of the shape and size of the ice formation near the leading edge of the airfoil. The exact size and shape of the ice formations were determined photographically and found to be complex functions of the operating and icing conditions."

A Preliminary Study of the Effect of Boric Oxide Deposits on the Performance of Two Selected Turbine Stator-Blade Shapes

Description: Report discussing testing on the performance of two stator-blade shapes with and without boric oxide deposits. The deposits were found to cause total pressure losses and decreases in the blade-exit flow angle.

A flight investigation of the practical problems associated with porous-leading-edge suction

Description: From Summary: "A flight investigation has been made of the practical problems associated with the use of porous-leading-edge suction. The wing leading edge of the test airplane was porous over approximately 83 percent of the span and the first 8 percent of the chord on the upper surface. Various other extents of suction area within these limits were also tested."

Correlations Among Ice Measurements, Impingement Rates Icing Conditions, and Drag Coefficients for Unswept NACA 65A004 Airfoil

Description: "An empirical relation has been obtained by which the change in drag coefficient caused by ice formations on an unswept NACA 65A004 airfoil section can be determined from the following icing and operating conditions: icing time, airspeed, air total temperature, liquid-water content, cloud droplet impingement efficiencies, airfoil chord length, and angles of attack. The correlation was obtained by use of measured ice heights and ice angles. These measurements were obtained from a variety of ice … more

Preliminary Investigation of Cyclic De-Icing of an Airfoil Using an External Electric Heater

Description: "An investigation was conducted in the NACA Lewis icing research tunnel to determine the characteristics and requirements of cyclic deicing of a 65,2-216 airfoil by use of an external electric heater. The present investigation was limited to an airspeed of 175 miles per hour. Data are presented to show the effects of variations in heat-on and heat-off periods, ambient air temperature, liquid-water content, angle of attack, and. heating distribution on the requirements for cyclic deicing" (p. 1). more

Description: From Summary: "An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the penetration of air jets directed perpendicularly to an air stream. Jets issuing from circular, square, and elliptical orifices were investigated and the jet penetration at a position downstream of the orifice was determined- as a function of jet density, jet velocity, air-stream density, air-stream velocity, effective jet diameter, and orifice flow coeffIcient. The jet penetrations were determined for nearly constant va… more
