Transonic Investigation of an Axial-Flow Compressor Rotor With a Hub-Tip Ratio of 0.75 and Blades Having NACA A(Sub 2)I(Sub 8b) Mean Lines

Description: Report presenting a blade-element analysis of a compressor rotor with blade sections with NACA A(sub 2)I(Sub 8b) mean lines and 65-series thickness distributions in Freon-12 gas. Results regarding blade loss, angle of attack associated with minimum loss, peak efficiencies, and comparison with other transonic rotors are provided.

Aerodynamic Characteristics at a Mach Number of 6.8 of Two Hypersonic Missile Configurations, One With Low-Aspect-Ratio Cruciform Fins and Trailing-Edge Flaps and One With a Flared Afterbody and All-Movable Controls

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch at a Mach number of 6.8 of hypersonic missile configurations with cruciform trailing-edge flaps and all-movable control surfaces. Testing indicated that all-movable controls on the flared-afterbody model should be capable of producing much larger values of trim lift and of normal acceleration than the trailing-edge-flap configuration. Some of the configurations tested include body alone, body with 5 degree … more

Aerodynamic Characteristics at a Mach Number of 6.8 of Two Hypersonic Missile Configurations, One With Low-Aspect-Ratio Cruciform Fins and Trailing-Edge Flaps and One With a Flared Afterbody and All-Movable Controls

Description: Report discussing an investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of hypersonic missile configurations with cruciform trailing-edge flaps with all-movable control surfaces. The all-movable controls were found to produce much larger values of trim lift and normal acceleration than the trailing-edge-flap configuration.

Experimental investigation of an axial-flow supersonic compressor having rounded leading-edge blades with an 8-percent mean thickness-chord ratio

Description: Report presenting testing of supersonic compressor blades with rounded leading edges with an 8-percent mean thickness-chord ratio and a solidity of about 2.5 were incorporated in a 16-inch-diameter rotor with and without guide vanes. Results regarding the overall performance, rotor-blade-element performance, and rotor without guide vanes are provided.
