Effect of High-Lift Devices on the Low-Speed Static Lateral and Yawing Stability Characteristics of an Untapered 45 Degrees Sweptback Wing

Description: Memorandum presenting a wind-tunnel investigation made in the stability tunnel to determine the effects of lift flaps on the static lateral stability derivatives and the yawing derivatives of an untapered 45 degree sweptback wing at low speeds. Results regarding straight flow and yawing characteristics are provided.

Full-Scale Investigation of an Equilateral Triangular Wing Having 10-Percent-Thick Biconvex Airfoil Sections

Description: Report discussing an investigation of the low-speed characteristics of a wing with a triangular plan form, 60 degrees of sweepback at the leading edge, and 10-percent-thick biconvex airfoil sections. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the effects of semispan and full-span leading-edge and trailing-edge flaps on the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of the wing and the effects of a vertical fin on the lateral stability characteristics.

Investigation of Performance of Single-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor Using NACA 5509-34 Blade Section

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted to study the performance of a single-stage axial-flow compressor using blades with an NACA 5509-34 airfoil section. Static- and total-pressure, total-temperature, and flow-angle surveys were taken in the compressor inlet and outlet and between blade rows to study the overall performance and individual blade-row performance.

Performance investigation of can-type combustor 2: water injection at various stations in combustor

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the maximum quantity of water that could be injected either into or ahead of a single can-type combustor without reducing the attainable combustor-outlet temperature below the value required for engine operation and without the appearance of liquid water at the combustor outlet. Water was injected from spray nozzles at four different stations along the combustor.

A General Small-Deflection Theory for Flat Sandwich Plates

Description: "A small-deflection theory is developed for the elastic behavior of orthotropic flat plates in which deflections due to shear are taken into account. In this theory, which covers all types of flat sandwich construction, a plate is characterized by seven physical constants (five stiffnesses and two Poisson ratios) of which six are independent. Both the energy expression and the differential equations are developed. Boundary conditions corresponding to simply supported, clamped, and elastically r… more

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/18-Scale Model of the Fairchild XNQ-1 Airplane, TED No. NACA 2398

Description: :Spin tests have been performed in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/18-scale model of the Fairchild XNQ-1 airplane. The spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the normal gross-weight loading and for two variations from this loading - center of gravity moved rearward and relative mass distribution increased along the fuselage. These tests were performed for two vertical-tail plan forms. The investigation also included simulated pilot-escape tests and ru… more
