Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 2.01 of the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Combined Angles of Attack and Sideslip of Several Hypersonic Missile Configurations with Various Canard Controls

Description: "An investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of several hypersonic missile configurations with various canard controls for an angle-of-attack range from 0 deg to about 28 deg at sideslip angles of about 0 deg and 4 deg at a Mach number of 2.01 has been made in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel. The configurations tested were a body alone which had a ratio of length to diameter of 10, the body with a 10 deg flare, the body with cruciform fins of 5 deg or 15 deg apex ang… more

Free-Flight Investigation of Aerodynamic Heat Transfer to a Simulated Glide-Rocket Shape at Mach Numbers up to 10

Description: "Heat-transfer measurements were made on a simulated glide-rocket shape in free flight at Mach numbers up to 10 and free-stream Reynolds numbers of 2 x 10 based on distance along surface from apex and 3 x 10 based on nominal leading-edge diameter. The model simulated the bottom of a 75 deg delta wing at 80 deg angle of attack. The data indicated that for the test conditions a modified three-dimensional stagnation-point theory will predict to reasonable engineering accuracy the heating on a high… more

Experimental Lift-Drag Ratios for Two Families of Wing-Body Combinations at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting experimental force and moment characteristics, including lift-drag ratios, which have been measured and briefly studied for two families of wing-body combinations. One family consisted of essentially arrow wings with half conical bodies. The other consisted of a fineness-ratio-12 body of revolution alone and with flat-plate triangular wings of aspect ratios ranging from 0.375 to 1.8.

The effects of target and missile characteristics on theoretical minimum miss distance for a beam-rider guidance system in the presence of noise

Description: Report presenting a study to determine the relative importance of the factors that place an inherent limitation on the minimum obtainable miss distance for a beam-rider navigation system operating in the presence of glint noise and target evasive maneuver. The factors considered include missile natural frequencies and damping ratios, missile steady-state acceleration capabilities, target evasive maneuver characteristics, and angular scintillation noise characteristics.

Preliminary analysis of over-all performance of an eight-stage axial -flow research compressor with two long-chord transonic inlet stages

Description: Report presenting a study of the performance of a modified compressor over a range of weight flows at a constant Reynolds number. The chords of the first two stages of the eight-stage axial-flow compressor had two transonic inlet stages doubled. Results regarding the long-chord-compressor performance and a comparison of long-chord and medium-chord compressors are provided.

Effect of Distributed Granular-Type Roughness on Boundary-Layer Transition at Supersonic Speeds With and Without Surface Cooling

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of a distributed granular-type roughness on boundary-layer transition at several temperatures. The roughness was not found to introduce any disturbances of significant magnitude to influence transition. Surface cooling did not increase the value of the critical roughness Reynolds number for a distributed granular-type roughness either.

Static stability and control of canard configurations at Mach numbers from 0.70 to 2.22: triangular wing and canard on an extended body

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the static stability and control characteristics of a canard airplane configuration without analysis for a range of Mach numbers from 0.70 to 2.22. This configuration consisted of a triangular wing and triangular canard, a low aspect ratio vertical tail, and a modified Sears-Haack body. Data are presented for various combinations of the body, canard, wing, and vertical tail at severla angles of sideslip, angles of attack, and canard deflection angles.
