Aerodynamic Characteristics of Two Delta Wings at Mach Number 4.04 and Correlations of Lift and Minimum-Drag Data for Delta Wings at Mach Numbers From 1.62 to 6.9

Description: Report presenting tests of the aerodynamic characteristics of two delta wings of the same aspect ratio and airfoil sections at Mach number 4.04. The results indicated that the ratio of the experimental lift-curve slope to the theoretical two-dimensional lift-curve slope from previous testing is valid at this Mach number.

Aerodynamic characteristics of two-plane, unswept tapered wings of aspect ratio 3 and 3-percent thickness from tests on a transonic bump

Description: From Introduction: "The Ames Aeronautical Laboratory has in progress an experimental investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of wings of interest in the design of high-speed fighter aircraft. This program included an investigation in the Ames 6-by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at both subsonic and supersonic Mach numbers of a wing-body combination having a 3-percent-thick, unswept, tapered wing with circular-arc sections and an aspect ratio of 3.1 (reference 1).

Aerodynamic characteristics with fixed and free transition of a modified delta wing in combination with fuselage at high subsonic speeds

Description: From Introduction: "An investigation of the high-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a modified delta wing in combination with a fuselage was conducted in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel. The model was tested on the sting support system through a Mach number range of 0.40 to 0.90 with both free and fixed transition. Because of the nature of the transition effect, the results seemed to be of the general interest and are presented in the present paper."

Aerodynamic control of supersonic inlets for optimum performance

Description: From Introduction: "The purpose of this paper is to discuss and evaluate some of the input signals or control parameters which have been experimentally employed to operate turbojet inlet-control systems. These include the normal-shock position, the oblique-shock position, and the diffuser-exit Mach number. The discussion is based on results obtained at the NACA Lewis laboratory during control investigations of ram-jet engines (ref. 1 to 5) and during a study on the control of a supersonic inlet… more

Aerodynamic Damping at Mach Numbers of 1.3 and 1.6 of a Control Surface on a Two-Dimensional Wing by a Free-Oscillation Method

Description: Memorandum presenting tests at two supersonic speeds to obtain experimentally the aerodynamic damping characteristics of a control surface on a two-dimensional wing. The control surface had a chord of 1.67 inches and a span of 7.25 inches and was supplied in three materials with different mass, inertia, and stiffness properties. Results regarding the presentation of data and comparison with theory and comparison with control-surface data for a triangular wing are provided.

Aerodynamic Design of Axial-flow Compressors 6 - Experimental Flow in Two-Dimensional Cascades

Description: "Available experimental two-dimensional cascade data for conventional compressor blade sections are correlated at a reference incidence angle in the region of minimum loss. Variations of reference incidence angle, total-pressure loss, and deviation angle with cascade geometry, inlet Mach number, and Reynolds number are investigated. From the analysis and the correlations of the available data, rules and relations are evolved for the prediction of blade-profile performance" (p. 1).

Aerodynamic Design of Axial-Flow Compressors. 7 - Blade-Element Flow in Annular Cascades

Description: Annular blade-element data obtained primarily from single-stage compressor installations are correlated over a range of inlet Mach numbers and cascade geometry. The correlation curves are presented in such a manner that they are related directly to the low-speed two-dimensional-cascade data of part VI of this series. Thus, the data serve as both an extension and a verification of the two-dimensional-cascade data. In addition, the correlation results are applied to compressor design.

Aerodynamic Design of Axial-Flow Compressors, Volume 2

Description: "Available experimental two-dimensional-cascade data for conventional compressor blade sections are correlated. The two-dimensional cascade and some of the principal aerodynamic factors involved in its operation are first briefly described. Then the data are analyzed by examining the variation of cascade performance at a reference incidence angle in the region of minimum loss" (p. 1).

Aerodynamic design of axial-flow compressors: Volume 3

Description: Chapters XI to XIII concern the unsteady compressor operation arising when compressor blade elements stall. The fields of compressor stall and surge are reviewed in Chapters XI and XII, respectively. The part-speed operating problem in high-pressure-ratio multistage axial-flow compressors is analyzed in Chapter XIII. Chapter XIV summarizes design methods and theories that extend beyond the simplified two-dimensional approach used previously in the report. Chapter XV extends this three-dimension… more

Aerodynamic Forces and Moments on a Large Ogive-Cylinder Store at Various Locations Below the Fuselage Center Line of a Swept-Wing Bomber Configuration at a Mach Number of 1.61

Description: "A supersonic wind-tunnel investigation on store interference has been conducted in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at a Mach number of 1.61. Forces and moments were measured on a large ogive-cylinder store in the presence of a 45 degree swept-wing-fuselage bomber configuration for a number of store locations below the fuselage center line. Results of the investigation show that large variations of store lift, drag, and pitch occur with changes in store or airplane angle of… more
