Wind-tunnel vibration tests of dual-rotating propellers

Description: Report presenting vibration tests of six- and eight-blade tractor and seven- and eight-blade pusher dual-rotating propellers conducted in the 16-foot high-speed tunnel to determine the severity of vibrations excited by blade passages. Measurements of vibratory stresses were made for engine-speed ranges at low, intermediate, and high engine powers. Few vibrations caused by blade passages were detected, and those vibrations were not serious.

Working Charts for the Computation of Propeller Thrust Throughout the Take-Off Range

Description: Report presenting data from tests conducted on full-scale propellers with 3155 blade design, which have been used to construct a set of propeller thrust charts for use in the calculation of take-off performance. By using the charts, the thrust of modern single- and dual-rotating propellers may be easily and rapidly calculated through the entire take-off range.

XC-35 gust research project: Preliminary analysis of the lateral distribution of gust velocity along the span of an airplane

Description: Report presenting measurements of the lateral distribution of effective gust velocity along the span of the XC-35 airplane in a variety of weather conditions. Six standard shapes were determined from the distributions: triangular, rectangular, first trapezoidal, second trapezoidal, unsymmetrical, and double triangular.
