Experimental investigation of the drag of 30 degree, 60 degree, and 90 degree cone cylinders at Mach numbers between 1.5 and 8.2

Description: Report presenting the total drag coefficients of 60 degree cone cylinders of fineness ratio 2.07 measured in free flight from Mach numbers of 1.5 to 8.2. Results regarding the smooth 60 degree cone cylinder, rifled models, and discontinuity lines in the shadowgraph pictures are provided.

The effect of bluntness on the drag of spherical-tipped truncated cones of fineness ratio 3 at Mach numbers 1.2 to 7.4

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the drag of spherically blunted conical models of fineness ratio 3 at a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Results of the tests showed that slightly blunted models had less drag than cones of the same fineness ratio through the Mach number range. Results regarding the total drag, wave drag, and viscous effects are provided.

The Ames supersonic free-flight wind tunnel

Description: From Introduction: "Because of the unusual nature of this equipment, and because it is proving to be very useful for certain kinds of aerodynamic research, this report has been prepared. It contains a description of the equipment and its use to obtain aerodynamic coefficients. The imperfections in the wind-tunnel air stream and their effect on model tests are also discussed."

The Biological Behavior of Organic Compounds Containing Radiophosphorus

Description: The study was undertaken with the objective of observing the distribution in the rat of organic compounds of phosphorus labelled with the P32 isotope as tracer. The fate of several of these compounds was studied in animals bearing tumors. The distribution of inorganic phosphate in animal tissues is well known but was included in this work for comparison with the organic phosphorus compounds.

The Ames Supersonic Free-Flight Wind Tunnel

Description: Memorandum presenting a description of the Ames supersonic free-flight wind tunnel, which is a new piece of equipment for aerodynamic research at high supersonic Mach numbers. It has a wide Mach number range extending from low supersonic speeds to Mach numbers in excess of 10. The air stream in the tunnel is imperfect, mainly due to a symmetrical pair of oblique shock waves which reflect down the test section.

Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Drag of a Lockheed F-94C Airplane (A.F. No. 50-956)

Description: From Summary: "The aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of an F-94C airplane, with the primary attention given to its drag characteristics, have been evaluated at low speed in the Ames 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel. The increments of drag due to various surface irregularities, ports, and component parts of the production airplane were determined. Wing-wake surveys were taken to determine the section drag coefficients at midsemispan for the smooth and the production wing. Base-pressure and internal… more
