An Investigation of the Longitudinal Characteristics of the X-3 Configuration Using Rocket-Propelled Models: Preliminary Results at Mach Numbers From 0.65 to 1.25

Description: Report presenting a rocket-powered model of the X-3 configuration flown through a range of Mach numbers to determine the response of the model to rapid deflections of the horizontal tail and its effects on lift, drag, longitudinal stability and control, and longitudinal-trim change. The model was found to remain statically and dynamically stable through the lift-coefficient and Mach number range of the test.

Experimental damping in pitch of 45 degree triangular wings

Description: Report presenting the results of an experimental wind-tunnel investigation of the damping in pitch of two triangular wings having leading edges swept back 45 degrees are presented. The wings differed only in airfoil section. Results regarding the damping coefficients, aeroelastic effects at supersonic speeds, Reynolds number effects, and application of the results to the prediction of the dynamic behavior of full-scale aircraft are provided.

Investigation of Power Requirements for Ice Prevention and Cyclical De-Icing of Inlet Guide Vanes with Internal Electric Heaters

Description: "An investigation was conducted to determine the electric power requirements necessary for ice protection of inlet guide vanes by continuous heating and by cyclical de-icing. Data are presented to show the effect of ambient-air temperature, liquid-water content, air velocity, heat-on period, and cycle times on the power requirements for these two methods of ice protection. The results showed that for a hypothetical engine using 28 inlet guide vanes under similar icing conditions, cyclical de-ic… more
