Report presenting information about the distance required to decelerate a high-speed jet transport from the normal operating speed to the design speed for maximum gust intensity (rough-air speed). The use of aerodynamic brakes, thrust reversal, or a climbing maneuver can help reduce the distance required to reach the rough-air speed, but deceleration distance is likely to be considerably greater for jet transports than present-day piston-engine transports.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
This selection of materials from the Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL) includes hard-to-find reports published by various government agencies. The technical publications contain reports, images, and technical descriptions of research performed for U.S. government agencies. Topics range from mining, desalination, and radiation to broader physics, biology, and chemistry studies. Some reports include maps, foldouts, blueprints, and other oversize materials.
