Description: Report presenting a flight investigation conducted to establish the heat requirements for ice prevention on aircraft windshields mounted on the forebody of an airplane at several angles. Electrically heated windshields were used in order to provide accurate measuring of heat input to the windshield. Results regarding the quantity of heat provided, amount of water collection, ideal windshield angle, ranges in airplane velocity, and icing conditions are provided.

Precision Duplication of Metal Parts in Tooling Plastic

Description: A series of experiments has been conducted during the past eighteen months with the objective of degerming the accuracy with which precision parts can be duplicated using a castable tooling plastic as a test shape to be reproduced. A precision ground ground 1/4 inch-thick, 90° steel sector of 4'' radius was chosen. The plastics used in the experiments were the die surfacer mixes of the Devon Cooperation and Ren Plastics, Inc. These were selected for use in the test because of their dimensional … more

Description: Part 1 deals with the head resistance of a number of common types of radiator cores at different speeds in free air, as measured in the wind tunnel at the bureau of standards. Part 2 gives the results of wind tunnel tests of resistance on a model fuselage with a nose radiator. Part 3 presents the results of preliminary tests of head resistance of a radiator enclosed in a streamlined casing.

Reconnaissance for Radioactive Materials in Northeastern United States During 1952

Description: The following report covers a reconnaissance for radioactive materials that was made in parts of Maine, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It's primary objective was to examine the iron ore deposits and associated rocks in Adirondack Mountains of New York and the Highlands of New Jersey. Additionally, several deposits known or reported to contain radioactive minerals were examined to delimit their extent. However, most of the deposits examined are not significant as possible sources of rad… more

Radioactive Rare-Earth Deposit at Scrub Oaks Mine, Morris County, New Jersey

Description: From abstract: A deposit of rare-earth minerals in the Scrub Oaks iron mine, Morris County, N. J., was mapped and sampled in 1955. The rare-earth minerals are mainly in coarse-grained magnetite ore and in pegmatite adjacent to it. Discrete bodies of rare-earth-bearing magnetite ore apparently follow the plunge of the main magnetite ore body at the north end of the mine. Radioactivity of the ore containing rare earths is about 0.2 to 0.6 milliroentgens per hour.

Motion of the Two-Control Airplane in Rectilinear Flight After Initial Disturbances With Introduction of Controls Following an Exponential Law

Description: "An airplane in steady rectilinear flight was assumed to experience an initial disturbance in rolling or yawing velocity. The equations of motion were solved to see if it was possible to hasten recovery of a stable airplane or to secure recovery of an unstable airplane by the application of a single lateral control following an exponential law. The sample computations indicate that, for initial disturbances complex in character, it would be difficult to secure correlation with any type of expon… more

Longitudinal Stability in Relation to the Use of an Automatic Pilot

Description: "The effect of restraint in pitching introduced by an automatic pilot upon the longitudinal stability of an airplane has been studied. Customary simplifying assumptions have been made in setting down the equations of motion, and the results of computations based on the simplified equations are presented to show the effect of an automatic pilot installed in an airplane of known dimensions and characteristics. The equations developed have been applied by making calculations for a Clark biplane an… more

An Investigation of the Elements Which Contribute to Statical and Dynamical Stability, and of the Effects of Variation in Those Elements

Description: Part 1 gives details of models tested and methods of testing of the Eiffel 36 wing alone and the JN2 aircraft. Part 2 presents a statistical analysis of the following: lift and drag contributed by body and chassis tested without wings; lift and drag contributed by tail, tested without wings; the effect on lift and drift of interference between the wings of a biplane combination; lift and drag contributed by the addition of body, chassis, and tail to a biplane combination; total parasite resista… more

Problem of the Slotted Wing: A Communication From the Aerodynamic Institute of the Aachen Technical High School

Description: "It is to be expected that the advantageous properties, hitherto discovered in many slotted wing sections, depend very largely on the contour of the slot and the structural details of the wing. It is therefore of interest, aside from measurements on wings of constant cross-section along the span, to measure also wing models in which the structural details have already been given practical consideration" (p. 1).

Investigation of the Forces Acting on Gliders in Automobile-, Pulley-, Winch-, and Airplane Towed Flight

Description: "The magnitude, the direction, and the fluctuation of towing forces exerted upon gliders by towing them aloft behind an automobile, by means of a winch, and by airplane were measured under a variety of conditions covering a range from gentle to severe types of operation. For these tests the towing forces did not exceed 92 percent of the gross weight of the glider. The results indicate that in pulley and winch towing the towing forces are of about the same magnitude as in automobile towing" (p. … more

Measurement of the Forces Acting on Gliders in Towed Flight

Description: "The magnitude, the direction, and the fluctuations of tow forces exerted upon gliders by towing them aloft behind an automobile were measured under a variety of conditions covering a range from gentle to severe types of operation. For these tests, the glider towing force did not exceed 1.6 of the gross weight of the glider. V-G records obtained during the towed-flight period as well as during the subsequent return glide to earth showed accelerations in the range from 3 to -1 g. The results of … more

A Rosette Strain Computer

Description: Note presenting a description of an electrical apparatus that serves as a computer for the evaluation of linear strain measurements taken in rosette fashion on the surface of a structural element carrying tension or compression and shear. The solution of the strain circle is accomplished by coupled rotary transformers, one representing each of the rosette gages.

The Factors Limiting the Utilization of Zirconium Alloys in Superheated Steam

Description: Abstract: New experimental data and literature data are utilized to determine the upper temperature of usefulness of zirconium alloys. Three basic engineering assumptions are used; (1) service life requirements are on the order of four years; (2) tubular fuel cladding for rod-type fuel is considered with a maximum wall thickness of 1.27 cm; and (3) heat fluxes are above 157 watts/cm. The inter-relation of three basic factors, corrosion rate, corrosion embrittlement by hydrogen and oxygen, and… more

Specific Zirconium Alloy Design Program Quarterly Progress Report: Fifth Quarter, April - June, 1963

Description: A program is in progress for the design of a zirconium base alloy for steam service as nuclear fuel cladding. Thirty-one alloys selected for study of corrosion rate, hydriding rate and hydrogen embrittlement are in test. The corrosion testing of 1800 coupons to 3000 hours at at 300, 400, and 500 degrees C in refreshed steam has been completed. Statistical data analysis of the corrosion results are reported and alloys showing better corrosion performance at all test temperatures than that for Zi… more
