The Determination of Span Load Distribution at High Speeds by Use of High-Speed Wind-Tunnel Section Data

Description: Report presenting a tabular method for determining the span load distribution at high Mach numbers by utilizing high-speed airfoil section data. This method, which is also called the generalized method, is an easily applied process of successive approximations by which a general application of the lifting-line theory may be used to determine the span load distribution for wings composed of sections with arbitrary lift curves. An example is provided to show how the method is used.

Investigation of Flow in an Axially Symmetrical Heated Jet of Air

Description: The work done under this contract falls essentially into two parts: the first part was the design and construction of the equipment and the running of preliminary tests on the 3-inch jet, carried out by Mr. Carl Thiele in 1940; the second part consisting in the measurement in the 1-inch jet flow in an axially symmetrical heated jet of air.

An Infrared Cloud Indicator 1: Analysis of Infrared-Radiation Exchange With Tables and Chart for Calibration of the Cloud Indicator

Description: Report presenting a description of an experimental model of a flight instrument that utilizes infrared radiations for detecting and indicating the location of clouds at night. A preliminary investigation is made of data in the scientific literature. A table and chart are developed that make it practical to determine the magnitude of the net exchange of radiation for any particular atmosphere of known composition and distribution of temperature.
