Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 0.5-Scale Model of the Fairchild XSAM-N-2 Lark Missile at High Subsonic Speeds

Description: "An investigation was conducted to determine the longitudinal- and lateral-stability characteristics of a 0.5-scale model of the Fairchild Lark missile. The model was tested with 0 deg and with 22.5 deg of roll. Three horizontal wings having NACA 16-009, 16-209, and 64A-209 sections were tested. Pressures were measured on both pointed and blunt noses" (p. 1).

Effects of wing-tip turrets on the aerodynamic characteristics of a typical bomber-wing model

Description: Report presenting wind-tunnel tests up to a Mach number of 0.85 to determine the effects of wing-tip gun turrets on the aerodynamic characteristics of a typical bomber-wing model. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment data are presented for the wing alone; for the wing with the turrets in the clean condition; and for the wing and the turrets with guns and sighting equipment. The turrets had negligible effect on the lift and pitching-moment characteristics of the wing.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Aerodynamically Refined Planing-Tail Hulls

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of two aerodynamically refined planing-tail hulls. One hull had an afterbody shaped like a tapered boom and the other had two afterbodies with tapered booms fairing out of engine nacelles. Results regarding take-off stability and trim, landing stability, spray, resistance, directional stability, and static transverse stability are presented.

Two-Dimensional Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Two NACA 7-Series Type Airfoils Equipped With a Slot-Lip Aileron, Trailing-Edge Frise Aileron, and a Double Slotted Flap

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of two NACA 7-series type airfoils, one with 17.7-percent chord thickness and one with 15.4-percent chord thickness, each quipped with a 30-percent-airfoil-chord double slotted flap, a slot-lip aileron, and a trailing-edge Frise aileron with two amounts of overhang balance. Measurements of airfoil lift and drag, Frise aileron hinge moment, and slot-lip aileron hinge moment were obtained through a large range of deflection of flap, Frise aileron, and… more
