Aerodynamic Damping at Mach Numbers of 1.3 and 1.6 of a Control Surface on a Two-Dimensional Wing by a Free-Oscillation Method

Description: Memorandum presenting tests at two supersonic speeds to obtain experimentally the aerodynamic damping characteristics of a control surface on a two-dimensional wing. The control surface had a chord of 1.67 inches and a span of 7.25 inches and was supplied in three materials with different mass, inertia, and stiffness properties. Results regarding the presentation of data and comparison with theory and comparison with control-surface data for a triangular wing are provided.

Investigation at Transonic Speeds of the Effects of Inlet Lip Stagger on the Internal-Flow Characteristics of an Unswept Semielliptical Air Inlet

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the transonic blowdown tunnel to determine the effects of variations in inlet lip swagger from 0 to 60 degrees on the internal-flow characteristics of an unswept semielliptical scoop-type air-inlet model without boundary-layer control. Tests were made for a range of Mach numbers and mass-flow ratios. Results regarding the flow over the fuselage nose, total-pressure recovery at inlet, flow distortions at inlet, and inlet-design considerations are presented.

A Transonic Investigation of the Static Longitudinal-Stability Characteristics of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing-Fuselage Combination With and Without Horizontal Tail

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the static longitudinal-stability characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage configuration with and without a sweptback horizontal tail for a range of angles of attack and Mach numbers. Special focus is given to the pitching-moment characteristics, location of the aerodynamic center, and slope of the lift-coefficient curve.

Compressor Performance Characteristics of a Python Turbine-Propeller Engine Investigated in Altitude Wind Tunnel

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the altitude wind tunnel to determine the performance of the Python turbine-propeller engine. Compressor-performance data were obtained for a range of simulated altitudes at a single cowl-inlet ram pressure ratio while the engine was run over its full operable range of engine speeds. Results regarding the deterioration of compressor performance, compressor performance, including efficiency and performance maps, and velocity and static-pressure profiles are … more

Cooling of Gas Turbines 6 - Computed Temperature Distribution Through Cross Section of Water-Cooled Turbine Blade

Description: "A theoretical analysis of the cross-sectional temperature distribution of a water-cooled turbine blade was made using the relaxation method to solve the differential equation derived from the analysis. The analysis was applied to specific turbine blade and the studies icluded investigations of the accuracy of simple methods to determine the temperature distribution along the mean line of the rear part of the blade, of the possible effect of varying the perimetric distribution of the hot gas-to… more

An experimental investigation of rectangular exhaust-gas ejectors applicable for engine cooling

Description: "An experimental investigation of rectangular exhaust-gas ejector pumps was conducted to provide data that would serve as a guide to the design of ejector applications for aircraft engines with marginal cooling. The pumping characteristics of rectangular ejectors actuated by the exhaust of a single-cylinder aircraft engine were determined for a range of ejector mixing-section area from 20 to 50 square inches, over-all length from 12 to 42 inches, aspect ratio from 1 to 5, diffusing exit area fr… more

Flame Movement and Pressure Development in an Engine Cylinder

Description: "This investigation describes a visual method for making stroboscopic observations, through a large number of small windows, of the spread of flame throughout the combustion chamber of a gasoline engine. Data, secured by this method on a small engine burning gaseous fuels, are given to show the effects of mixture ratio, spark advance, engine speed, charge density, degree of dilution, compression ratio, and fuel composition on flame movement in the cylinder. Partial indicator diagrams showing pr… more
