Experimental investigation of performance of single-stage transonic compressor with guide vanes turning counter to direction of rotor whirl

Description: Report presenting testing of a transonic compressor rotor with double-circular-arc blade sections and inlet guide vanes turning counter to the direction of rotor whirl to determine the effect of blade-row interaction on the performance of a transonic rotor. Results regarding overall performance, guide-vane performance, rotor-inlet conditions, rotor-outlet conditions, consideration of radial equilibrium, blade-element performance, and axial asymmetry in rotor-outlet flow are provided.

A flight investigation of area-suction and blowing boundary-layer control on the trailing-edge flaps of a 35 degree swept-wing-carrier-type airplane

Description: Report presenting flight tests on an FJ-3 airplane to determine the flight characteristics of a carrier-type airplane with area-suction and blowing boundary-layer control on the trailing-edge flaps. Measurements were made of lift, drag, and bleed-air requirements for the different types of boundary-layer control systems. Results regarding lift, drag, flow requirements, performance, pilots' opinions, and approach-speed criteria are provided.

Investigation of Static Longitudinal Stability Characteristics at Transonic Speeds of 30 Degree Sweptback Wing in Wing-Body Configuration With and Without Horizontal Tail

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the static longitudinal stability characteristics of two wings of different construction and slightly different flexibilities in the 16-foot transonic tunnel. The wings had the same external dimensions but one had a steel construction and the other was made of plastic reinforced by a steel core.
