Two-dimensional wind tunnel investigation of a symmetrical airfoil section with a sealed internally balanced control surface and a leading tab

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnel of a symmetrical airfoil section equipped with a 0.30-airfoil-chord sealed internally balanced flap with a 0.70-flap-chord overhang and a 0.33-flap-chord leading tab. Results regarding airfoil lift, surface pressure, flap hinge-moment, and flap-balance-chamber pressure characteristics at various flap deflections.

Low-speed pressure-distribution and flow investigation for a large pitch and yaw range of three low-aspect-ratio pointed wings having leading edge swept back 60 degrees and biconvex sections

Description: Report presenting an investigation of pressure distributions and flow characteristics at low speed through a range of yaw and angle of attack through the stall for three small-scale low-aspect-ratio pointed wings with varying degrees of trailing-edge sweep. An effort was made to correlate pressure distributions with the strong conical vortex flow observed. Results regarding chordwise pressure distributions and flow characteristics, section lift characteristics at zero yaw, spanwise-load distrib… more

Preliminary experimental investigation of effects of aerodynamic shape of concentrated weights on flutter of a straight cantilever wing

Description: Report presenting the effect of flutter characteristics of variation on the aerodynamic shape of concentrated weights rigidly mounted on a simplified wing structure. Two general types of weights with similar mass and moment-of-inertia properties were employed. Results regarding effects of aerodynamic shape of concentrated weights, effects of spanwise variation of light concentrated weights, and effects of moment of inertia of light concentrated weights.

Theoretical Investigation of the Dynamic Lateral Stability Characteristics of Douglas Design No. 39C, an Early Version of the X-3 Research Airplane

Description: Contains results of calculations made to determine the neutral oscillatory stability boundaries, period and time to damp of the oscillatory mode, and motions following disturbances. The calculations were made for Mach numbers of 0.75 and 2.3 at an attitude of 35,000 feet and for the landing condition at sea level.

Results obtained from second flight of X-4 airplane (A.F. no. 46-676)

Description: Report presenting testing in the X-4 airplane to obtain stability and control data. The flight was made with the center of gravity at 19.7 percent of the mean aerodynamic chord and with the rudder-boost system removed. The results showed that the longitudinal stability was positive in the clean condition and in the gear-down flaps-up condition.

Preliminary Measurements of the Dynamic Lateral Stability Characteristics of the Douglas D-588-II (BuAero No. 37974) Airplane

Description: "This paper presents some data on the dynamic lateral stability characteristics of the Douglas D-558-II (BuAero No. 37974) airplane. For the airplane in the clean condition, the lateral oscillations are lightly damped. In the landing condition, the airplane performs a constant-amplitude lateral oscillation" (p. 1).

Investigation of Performance of Typical Inlet Stage of Multistage Axial-Flow Compressor

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of a typical inlet stage of a multistage axial-flow compressor that was designed on the basis of an analysis of basic design variables. The stage, consisting of 19 rotor blades and 20 stator blades with 40 inlet guide vanes, had a hub-to-tip-radius ratio at the rotor inlet of 0.50 and a rotor-blade outside diameter of 14 inches. Results regarding the overall compressor performance, comparison of compressor performance with design, and rotor-row performance… more

Fundamental effects of aging on creep properties of solution-treated low-carbon N-155 alloy

Description: A method is developed whereby the fundamental mechanisms are investigated by which processing, heat treatment, and chemical composition control the properties of alloys at high temperatures. The method used metallographic examination -- both optical and electronic --studies of x-ray diffraction-line widths, intensities, and lattice parameters, and hardness surveys to evaluate fundamental structural conditions. Mechanical properties at high temperatures are then measured and correlated with thes… more

Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a Semispan Wind-Tunnel Model of the XF7U-1 Airplane and a Comparison with Complete-Model Wind-Tunnel Tests and Semispan-Model Wing-Flow Tests

Description: An investigation was conducted on an 0.08-scale semispan model of the Chance Vought XF7U-1 airplane in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel in the Mach number range from 0.40 to 0.97. The results are compared with those obtained with an 0.08-scale sting-mounted complete model tested in the same tunnel and with an 0.026-scale semispan model tested by the wing-flow method. The lift-curve slopes obtained for the 0.08-scale semispan model and the 0.026-scale wing-flow model were in good agre… more

Performance of Axial-Flow Supersonic Compressor of the XJ55-FF-1 Turbojet Engine. 4 - Analysis of Compressor Operation over a Range of Equivalent Tip Speeds from 801 to 1614 Feet Per Second

Description: "An investigation was conducted to determine the performance characteristics of the axial-flow supersonic compressor of the XJ55-FF-1 turbojet engine. An analysis of the performance of the rotor was made based on detailed flow measurements behind the rotor. The compressor apparently did not obtain the design normal-shock configuration in this investigation. A large redistribution of mass occurred toward the root of the rotor over the entire speed range; this condition was so acute at design spe… more
