Flight investigation of the performance and cooling characteristics of a long-nose high-inlet-velocity cowling on the XP-42 airplane

Description: Report presenting the results of a series of flight tests of the maximum speed and cooling characteristics in high-speed level flight and in climb of the XP-42 airplane equipped with a long-nose high-inlet-velocity cowling. The results indicated that a maximum speed of 338 miles per hour at 870 horsepower at 17,000 feet was achievable, which is above the engine critical altitude. Pressure measurements in the entrances in the cylinder baffles showed a uniform distribution of pressure on the fron… more

Investigation of flow through an intercooler set at various angles to the supply duct

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the flow losses that occur as a result of locating the axis of an intercooler at various angles with respect to the supply-duct axis and also to determine the flow pattern throughout the intercooler. The flow losses were found to be small for angles of inclination up to about 70 degrees. The distribution of flow through the intercooler also appeared to be fairly uniform up to about this angle.

A Method of Shear-Lag Analysis of Box Beams for Axial Stresses, Shear Stresses, and Shear Center

Description: Report presenting a practical and relatively rapid method of compensating for shear lag in box-beam analysis with accuracy sufficient for design purposes. Effectiveness curves for box beam elements are derived for an ideal, symmetrical structure. Tabular computation forms for rapid, accurate calculations of axial stresses, shear center, and shear stresses for beam with shear lag are induced.

Tensile and Compressive Stress-Strain Curves and Flat-End Column Strength for Extruded Magnesium Alloy J-1

Description: "Two stress-strain curves are presented for both tension and compression. In addition, the results of a number of flat-end column tests are presented. The more apparent conclusions regarding extruded magnesium alloy J-1 are: it has a very low proportional limit in relation to the yield and ultimate strengths and it has a very low yield point for compression as compared with tension" (p. 1).
