Wind-Tunnel Tests of the 1/25-Scale Powered Model of the Martin JRM-1 Airplane. 4 - Tests with Ground Board and with Modified Wing and Hull - TED No. NACA 232, Part 4, Tests with Ground Board and with Modified Wing and Hull, TED No. NACA 232

Description: From Summary: "Wind-tunnel tests were made of a 1/25 scale model of the Martin JRM-1 airplane to determine: (1) The longitudinal stability and control characteristics of the JRM-1 model near the water and lateral and directional stability characteristics with power while moving on the surface of the water, the latter being useful for the design of tip floats; (2) The stability and stalling characteristics of the wing with a modified airfoil contour; (3) Stability characteristics of a hull of la… more

Wing-flow tests of a triangular wing of aspect ratio two 1: effectiveness of several types of trailing-edge flaps on flat-plate models

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the problem of applying controls to low-aspect-ratio wings of triangular plan form by using the NACA wing-flow method with parallel-sided models with sharp leading and trailing edges. Results regarding the data analysis, Reynolds number and separation effects, flap effectiveness, plan-form characteristics, angle of zero lift, and triangular plan-form flying-wing characteristics are provided.

Yaw Characteristics and Sidewash Angles of a 42 Degree Sweptback Circular-Arc Wing With a Fuselage and With Leading-Edge and Split Flaps at a Reynolds Number of 5,300,000

Description: Report presenting testing of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics in yaw of a 42 degree sweptback wing of circular-arc airfoil sections in the pressure tunnel. The wing had an aspect ratio of 3.94, taper ratio of 0.625, and no dihedral or twist. Results regarding lateral-stability parameters of plain wing, effect of wing flaps on lateral-stability parameters, effect of fuselage on lateral-stability parameters, a comparison with the NACA 64(sub 1)-112 wing, characteristics in the extended y… more
