Drag Measurements at Low Lift of a Four-Nacelle Airplane Configuration Having a Longitudinal Distribution of Cross-Sectional Area Conductive to Low Transonic Drag Rise

Description: Memorandum presenting a procedure based on the transonic area rule, which has been used to design a four-nacelle delta-wing airplane configuration. A flight test of a model of the configuration showed a zero-lift transonic drag rise of 0.010 which, when compared with estimates, indicated the absence of adverse interference effects.

Investigation of Blade Failures in a J34, Eleven-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor

Description: Report presenting a vibrational survey conducted during normal operation of a production eleven-stage axial-flow compressor powered as part of a complete turbojet engine. After serious third-stage vibration was detected, an investigation was conducted to study and eliminate the vibration with several component configurations. The vibrational source was determined to be an aerodynamic phenomenon related to a stall, but a new inlet-guide-vane assembly with a 4-percent increase in inlet area elimi… more

A flight investigation of the effect of leading-edge camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a swept-wing airplane

Description: Report presenting flight measurements on a swept-wing jet aircraft to determine the effects of adding forward camber and an increased leading-edge radius on the low-speed stalling characteristics, the high-speed static longitudinal stability, and the airplane drag. The modified leading edge produced values of maximum lift somewhat greater than the slats on a normal airplane, but the stall was unacceptable because of an abrupt roll-off.
