Additional results of an investigation at transonic speeds to determine the effects of a heated propulsive jet on the drag characteristics of a series of related afterbodies
From Introduction: "Presented in this report are the basic data obtained from investigation. The data are presented with limited analysis in order to expedite their availability to those concerned with jet-exit-afterbody design."
Comparison of the Minimum Drag of Two Versions of a Modified Delta-Wing Fighter as Obtained From Flight Tests of Rocket-Boosted Models and Equivalent Bodies Between Mach Numbers of 0.80 and 1.64
Report presenting an investigation to determine the reduction in minimum drag that could be obtained at supersonic speeds by redesigning the fuselage and reducing the wing and tail thickness of a modified delta-wing fighter-type airplane. Results regarding the mass-flow ratio, total-pressure recovery, and drag are provided.
An Experimental Investigation of Sting-Support Effects on Drag and a Comparison with Jet Effects at Transonic Speeds
"This paper presents the results of an investigation of sting-support interference on afterbody drag at transonic speeds. Stings with varying diameter, cone angle, and cylindrical length were tested at the rear of a model with various afterbody shapes. The data were obtained at an angle of attack of 0 deg. and at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 1.10. It was found that, in general, the addition of a sting caused a drag reduction" (p. 1).
Thorex: Second Thorium Cycle Manpower and Cost Summary

Uranium Concentration Meter
From abstract; "Two basic instruments were developed for determining the concentration of uranium in solutions. Both instruments detect the gamma activity present in a sample solution, and interpret this analysis into direct presentation as parts per million."
Wind-Tunnel Measurements of Wing Buffeting on 1/16-Scale Model of Douglas D-558-II Research Airplane
Report presenting exploratory measurements of the fluctuations of wing bending moment during normal performance and wind-tunnel testing of a model of the Douglas D-558-II from Mach numbers 0.60 to 0.96. The effects of leading-edge chord-extensions and pylon-mounted underwing external stores were investigated. Results regarding the general nature of buffeting measurements, frequency distribution of buffeting response, interpretation of model buffeting measurements, and effects of changes in model configuration are provided.
