Aerodynamic Properties of Slender Wing-Body Combinations at Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds

Description: From Introduction: "In an incomprehensible medium, the mutual interference of a fuselage and wing of high-aspect ratio (to which lifting-line theory is applicable) has been treated by Lennertz, Wiselsberger, Pepper, and Multhopp in reference 1, 2, 3, and 4. It is the purpose of this note to treat the effect of on the aerodynamic loading of the mutual interference between a low-aspect-ratio pointed wing and a fuselage consisting of a slender body of revolution."

Altitude-Test-Chamber Investigation of a Solar Afterburner on the 24C Engine 1 - Operational Characteristics and Altitude Limits

Description: "An altitude-test-chamber investigation was conducted to determine the operational characteristics and altitude blow-out limits of a Solar afterburner in a 24C engine. At rated engine speed and maximum permissible turbine-discharge temperature, the altitude limit as determined by combustion blow-out occurred as a band of unstable operation of about 8000 feet altitude in width with maximum altitude limits from 32,000 feet at a Mach number of 0.3 to about 42,000 feet at a Mach number of 1.0. The … more

Calculations of the Dynamic Stress of Several Airplane Wings in Various Gusts

Description: "A series of calculations of the dynamic response of airplane wings to gusts were made with the purpose of showing the relative response of a reference airplane, the DC-3 airplane, and of newer types of airplanes represented by the DC-4, DC-6, and L-49 airplanes. Additional calculations were made for the DC-6 airplane to show the effects of speed and altitude. On the basis of the method of calculation used and the conditions selected for analysis, it is indicated that: 1) The newer airplanes sh… more

Charts for Determining Preliminary Values of Span-Load, Shear, Bending-Moment, and Accumulated-Torque Distributions of Swept Wings of Various Taper Ratios

Description: Contains charts for use in determining preliminary values of the spanwise-load, shear, bending-moment, and accumulated-torque distributions of swept wings. The charts are based on strip theory and include four aerodynamic-load distributions, two section-moment distributions, and two inertia-load distributions. The taper ratios considered cover the range from 1.0 to 0 and the results are applicable to any angle of sweep.

Critical Axial-Compressive Stress of a Curved Rectangular Panel With a Central Chordwise Stiffener

Description: "The theoretical critical stress is derived for a simply supported curved rectangular panel in axial compression having a central chordwise stiffener offering no torsional restraint. The results are presented in the form of computed curves and a table. Because a panel of moderate or large curvature buckles in compression at a stress considerably below the theoretical value, a method is suggested to aid in determining the critical stress for use in design" (p. 1).

Effect of a nacelle on the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a swept-back wing

Description: Wind-tunnel tests of a simplified nacelle on a semispan wing having approximately 35 degrees of sweepback were made at low speeds to evaluate the effects of the nacelle on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing. Force, moment, and pressure-distribution measurements are presented for the nacelle underslung and centrally mounted on the wing and mounted on a strut below the wing.

Effect of Screens in Wide-Angle Diffusers

Description: Note presenting an experimental investigation at low airspeeds of the filling effect observed when a screen or similar resistance is placed across a diffuser. The filling effect is found to be real in that screens can prevent separation or restore separated flow in diffusers even of extreme divergence and to depend principally on screen location and pressure-drop coefficient of the screen.
