Aerodynamic Characteristics of Three Deep-Step Planing-Tail Flying-Boat Hulls and a Transverse-Step Hull with Extended Afterbody

Description: From Summary: "An investigation was made to determine the aerodynamic characteristics in the presence of a wing of three-step planning-tail flying-boat hulls which differed only in the amount of step fairing. The purpose of comparison, tests were also made of a transverse-step hull with an extended afterbody."

Aerodynamic coefficients for an oscillating airfoil with hinged flap, with tables for a Mach number of 0.7

Description: From Introduction: "The fundamental integral equation for the pressure distribution on an oscillating thin airfoil moving at subsonic speed has been derived by Possio in reference 1. Collocation procedures have been used by Possio, Frazer, and Skan, and others to obtain lift and moment on an oscillating first plate. An important contribution has been made by Dietze (see reference 2 and 3), who has developed an iterative procedure for numerical solution of Possio's integral equation."

The Aerodynamic Design of Supersonic Propellers from Structural Considerations

Description: From Summary: "The aerodynamic design of propellers from considerations of centrifugal force is presented. By applying a constant minimum value of thickness ratio from root to tip and allowing the distribution of required area to appear in the blade plan form, propellers with good efficiency are realized at high Mach numbers by the method of this paper."

The Aerodynamic Drag of Five Models of Side Floats N.A.C.A. Models 51-E, 51-F, 51-G, 51-H, 51-J

Description: "The drag of five models of side floats was measured in the N.A.C.A. 7- by 10-foot wind tunnel. The most promising method of reducing the drag of floats indicated by these tests is lowering the angle at which the floats are rigged. The addition of a step to a float does not always increase the drag in the flying range, floats with steps sometimes having lower drag than similar floats without steps" (p. 1).

The Aerodynamic Drag of Flying-Boat Hull Model as Measured in the NACA 20-Foot Wind Tunnel - 1

Description: "The main purpose of this investigation is to make available to the designer useful information with regard to the aerodynamic drag of various types of flying-boat hull models. The present report is the first in a series covering investigation in this field. Through close cooperation between hydrodynamics and aerodynamics divisions it is hoped that results leading to improvements in hull design obtained" (p. 1).

The Aerodynamic Effect of a Retractable Landing Gear

Description: "Tests were conducted in the N.A.C.A. full scale wind tunnel at the request of the Army Air Corps to determine the effect of retractable landing gear openings in the bottom surface of a wing upon the characteristics of a Lockheed Altair airplane. The tests were extended to include the determination of the lift and drag characteristics throughout the angle-of-attack range with the landing gear both retracted and extended. Covering the wheel openings in the wing with sheet metal when the wheels w… more

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."

Aerodynamic Effects of a Split Flap on the Spinning Characteristics of a Monoplane Model

Description: From Summary: "The investigation described in this report was made to determine the change in aerodynamic forces and moments produced by split flaps in a steady spin. The test were made with the spinning balance in the NACA 5-foot vertical wind tunnel. A low-wing monoplane model was tested with and without the split flaps in 12 spinning attitudes chosen to cover the probable spinning range. The results obtained indicate that the use of split flaps on an airplane is unlikely, in any case, to hav… more

The aerodynamic forces and moments on a 1/10-scale model of a fighter airplane in spinning attitudes as measured on a rotary balance in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel

Description: From Introduction: "This investigation provides general information on the magnitudes and directions of the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on a fighter airplane in fully developed spins. The investigation includes the determination of the effects on the aerodynamic forces and moments of varied rudder setting with and against the spin, of tail modifications, and of deflected flaps and lowered landing gear."

Aerodynamic heating and the deflection of drops by an obstacle in an air stream in relation to aircraft icing

Description: From Summary: "Two topics of interest to persons attempting to apply the heat method of preventing ice formation on aircraft are considered. Surfaces moving through air at high speed are shown, both theoretically and experimentally, to be subject to important aerodynamic heating effects that will materially reduce the heat required to prevent ice. Numerical calculations of the path of water drops in an air stream around a circular cylinder are given. From these calculations, information is obta… more

Aerodynamic Properties of Cruciform-Wing and Body Combinations at Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds

Description: From Introduction: "Although the aerodynamic characteristics of the components of such configurations may be well known, the mutual interference resulting from combining the wings, as well as the wings and body, may be so great that is desirable to study the aerodynamic properties of the complete configurations. Two methods of handling this problem are presented in this report. The first method is essentially an extension of the theory for slender wing-body combinations of reference 1 to determ… more

Aerodynamic Properties of Slender Wing-Body Combinations at Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds

Description: From Introduction: "In an incomprehensible medium, the mutual interference of a fuselage and wing of high-aspect ratio (to which lifting-line theory is applicable) has been treated by Lennertz, Wiselsberger, Pepper, and Multhopp in reference 1, 2, 3, and 4. It is the purpose of this note to treat the effect of on the aerodynamic loading of the mutual interference between a low-aspect-ratio pointed wing and a fuselage consisting of a slender body of revolution."
