Wind-Tunnel Tests of the Static Longitudinal Characteristics at Low Speed of a Swept-Wing Airplane With Blowing Flaps and Leading-Edge Slats

Description: Memorandum presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of a high-wing airplane with an aspect ratio 6.75 wing with approximately 36 degrees of sweepback in order to determine the lift effectiveness obtainable with trailing-edge blowing flaps in combination with leading-edge slats. Close to theoretical flap effectiveness was obtained with blowing flaps deflected 45, 55, and 65 degrees at low angles of attack. Results regarding the wind tunnel, take-off performance, landing performance, and comparison… more

Performance evaluation of reduced-chord rotor blading as applied to J73 two-stage turbine 5: effect of inlet pressure on over-all performance at design speed and inlet temperature of 700 degrees R

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a reduced-chord multistage turbine at design speed and various turbine-inlet pressures from 12 to 40 inches of mercury absolute. At each inlet pressure, the turbine was operated over a range of overall turbine total-pressure ratios; turbine-inlet temperature was maintained at 700 degrees R. The results indicated that no appreciable effect on turbine overall performance was observed over the range of turbine-inlet total pressures investigated.

Performance evaluation of reduced-chord rotor blading as applied to J73 two-stage turbine 4: over-all performance of first-stage turbine with reduced-chord rotor blades at inlet conditions of 35 inches of mercury absolute and 700 R

Description: Report presenting a study of the first stage performance characteristics of the two-stage turbine from the J73 turbojet engine. The reduced-chord first-stage turbine operated at a peak brake internal efficiency of over 91 percent at a stage overall pressure ratio of 1.4 and at 90 percent of the design equivalent speed. The unit exhibited high efficiency over a wide range of operating variables.

Wind-tunnel tests of the static longitudinal characteristics at low speed of a swept-wing airplane with blowing flaps and leading-edge slats

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of a high-wing airplane with an aspect ratio 6.75 wing with approximately 36 degrees of sweepback to determine the lift effectiveness obtainable with trailing-edge blowing flaps in combination with leading-edge slats. Flap effectiveness and stability were maintained to high angles of attack by control of leading-edge flow separation with slats. An analysis of the take-off performance, landing performance, and comparisons with flight data are provide… more

Transonic Flutter Investigation of a Cantilevered, Aspect-Ratio-4, 45 Degree Sweptback, Untapered Wing With Three Different Pylon-Mounted External Store Configurations

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the transonic flutter characteristics of a cantilevered, aspect-ratio-4, 45 degree sweptback, untapered wing with three different pylon-mounted external-store configurations. An additional study was created during the investigation to find a store configuration with a substantially higher flutter speed than what was obtained with the other two stores. Results regarding general comments, the investigation of store types A and B, node-line survey, and the inv… more
