Description

Report presenting testing of two low-solidity transonic axial-flow-compressor rotors tested over a range of speeds up to a corrected tip speed of 1000 feet per second to determine the performance of such rotors and to provide experimental rotor blade-element data for low solidity levels. Comparisons of the hub and mean blade-element losses for the three rotors showed that the losses tended to decrease with a decrease in solidity. Results regarding rotor-inlet conditions, rotor-outlet conditions, overall performance, and stall characteristics are provided.

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).
