Report presenting an investigation of the performance of clustered jet-exit installations at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 3.05. The data were obtained with tunnel-wall-mounted models with cold-air-jet exhaust. Results indicated that large base-pressure drag coefficients may be encountered in the transonic and low supersonic speed range and that the best configuration in the test was boattailed between the nacelles, had a cylindrical nacelle afterbody, and a divergent nozzle with a design pressure ratio of 15.

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.
