Adaptation of aeronautical engines to high altitude flying

Description: Report discussing Issues and techniques relative to the adaptation of aircraft engines to high altitude flight. Covered here are the limits of engine output, modifications and characteristics of high altitude engines, the influence of air density on the proportions of fuel mixtures, methods of varying the proportions of fuel mixtures, the automatic prevention of fuel waste, and the design and application of air pressure regulators to high altitude flying. Summary: 1. Limits of engine output. 2.… more

Altitude performance characteristics of turbojet-engine tail-pipe burner with variable-area exhaust nozzle using several fuel systems and flame holders

Description: From Introduction: "The performance of several tail-pipe burners with fixed area exhaust nozzles is reported in references 1 to 4, and the performance of an NACA-designed tail-pipe burner with a variable-area exhaust nozzle is reported in reference 5. Operational characteristics of the tail-pipe burner are also discussed."

Analysis of effect of basic design variables on subsonic axial-flow-compressor performance

Description: From Summary: "A blade-element theory for axial-flow compressors has been developed and applied to the analysis of the effects of basic design variables such as Mach number, blade loading, and velocity distribution on compressor performance. The relations among several efficiencies useful in compressor design are derived and discussed. The possible gains in useful operating range obtainable by the use of adjustable stator blades are discussed and a rapid approximate method of calculating blade-… more

Addition of Heat to a Compressible Fluid in Motion

Description: From Introduction: "The purpose of this report is to summarize, without extended proofs, the results of a study of a simplified model of nonadiabiatic, compressible fluid flow, both subsonic and supersonic, and to state these results in a form that will make them immediately useful in providing a theoretical background for current technical problems of high-speed combustion.

Analysis of transonic rotor-blade passage loss with hot-wire anemometers

Description: From Introduction: "This report presents data from measurements of the flow in a single-stage research compressor, which supports the model of reference 1. A calculated shock technique similar to that of reference 1 is incorporated with these experimental results. Another approach for estimating passage shock loss given a flow rate and blade geometry was reported in reference 2."

Aerodynamic characteristics of wings with cambered external airfoil flaps, including lateral control, with a full-span flap

Description: From Summary: "The results of a wind-tunnel investigation of the NACA 23012, the NACA 23021, and the Clark Y airfoils, each equipped with a cambered external-airfoil flap, are presented in this report. The purpose of the research was to determine the relative merit of the various airfoils in combination with the cambered flap and to investigate the use of the flap as a combined lateral-control and high-lift device."
