Investigation of Inlet Control Parameters for an External-Internal-Compression Inlet From Mach 2.1 to 3.0

Description: "Investigation of the control parameters of an external-internal compression inlet indicates that the cowl-lip shock provides a signal to position the spike and to start the inlet over a Mach number range from 2.1 to 3.0. Use of a single fixed probe position to control the spike over the range of conditions resulted in a 3.7-count loss in total-pressure recovery at Mach 3.0 and 0 deg angle of attack. Three separate shock-sensing-probe positions were required to set the spike for peak recovery f… more

Measurements in Flight of the Longitudinal Characteristics of Two Jet Aircraft, One With a Diving Tendency and the Other With a Climbing Tendency at High Mach Numbers

Description: Memorandum presenting flight tests conducted on two straight-wing jet airplanes of generally similar configuration, one exhibiting a diving tendency and the other a climbing tendency, in order to investigate the cause for the particular type of behavior of each airplane at high Mach numbers. The results showed that the diving tendency experienced by the one airplane was due to the predominant effect of an increased angle of attack of the horizontal tail.

Flight measurements of the wing-dropping tendency of a straight-wing jet airplane at high subsonic Mach numbers

Description: From Summary: "Flight tests were conducted on a straight-wing fighter-type jet airplane to investigate the lateral-control characteristics associated with a wing-dropping tendency encountered at high subsonic Mach numbers. The chief factors found to account directly for the wing-dropping tendency were a progressive reduction in aileron-control effectiveness with increasing Mach number, and an increase in effective dihedral above a Mach number of 0.8 which made the lateral trim particularly sens… more

A flight investigation of the effect of leading-edge camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a swept-wing airplane

Description: Report presenting flight measurements on a swept-wing jet aircraft to determine the effects of adding forward camber and an increased leading-edge radius on the low-speed stalling characteristics, the high-speed static longitudinal stability, and the airplane drag. The modified leading edge produced values of maximum lift somewhat greater than the slats on a normal airplane, but the stall was unacceptable because of an abrupt roll-off.
