Unstable Particles As Targets In Scattering Experiments

Description: A general method is suggested for analyzing the scattering of particle A by particle B, leading to three or more final particles, in order to obtain the cross section for the interaction of A with a particle which is virtually contained in B. Binding complications are absent if a plausible assumption about the location and residues of poles in the S-matrix is accepted. The method is useful for unstable particles from which free targets cannot be made; the special examples of pion and neutron ta… more

A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Wing Loads Due to Deflected Inboard Ailerons on a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing at Transonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting the effects of deflected inboard ailerons on the wing loads of a 45 degree sweptback wing-body combination in the 16-foot transonic tunnel. The model had a wing with an aspect ratio of 3, a taper ratio of 0.2, and NACA 65A004 airfoil sections. Results regarding the chordwise pressure distributions, effect of ailerons on wing section loadings, effect of aileron on wing loading, and effects of a deflected aileron on opposite-wing loading are provided.

Preliminary Aerodynamic Data Pertinent to Manned Satellite Reentry Configurations

Description: Report presenting some experimental data and calculations for a variety of aerodynamic shapes considered for use as manned reentry vehicles. Three types of vehicles were tested: non-lifting bodies, lifting bodies, and airplane-like vehicles. All of the configuration types were found to be suitable for use as manned reentry vehicles with certain fin and flap modifications for certain shapes.

An analysis of surface pressures and aerodynamic load distribution over the swept wing of the Douglas D-558-II research airplane at Mach numbers from 0.73 to 1.73

Description: Report presenting the wing-section pressure-distribution and wing-panel load characteristics of the Douglas D-558-II airplane for a range of Mach numbers and airplane normal-force coefficients. At subsonic speeds, the pressure distributions are characterized by a high negative-pressure peak with an abrupt pressure recovery as a result of the leading-edge expansion over the upper surface at moderate angles of attack.
