NACA Investigation of a Jet-Propulsion System Applicable to Flight

Description: "Following a brief history of the NACA investigation of jet-propulsion, a discussion is given of the general investigation and analyses leading to the construction of the jet-propulsion ground-test mock-up. The results of burning experiments and of test measurements designed to allow quantitative flight-performance predictions of the system are presented and correlated with calculations. These calculations are then used to determine the performance of the system on the ground and in the air at … more

The reversibility theorem for thin airfoils in subsonic and supersonic flow

Description: A method introduced by Munk is extended to prove that the light-curve slope of thin wings in either subsonic flow or supersonic flow is the same when the direction of flight of the wing is reversed. It is also shown that the wing reversal does not change the thickness drag, damping-in-roll parameter or the damping-in-pitch parameter.

Internal and external aerodynamics of ducted bodies at supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting a method for calculating the lift, moment, and pressure drag of slender open-nose bodies of revolution at supersonic speeds. An application of the method to a typical ramjet fuselage is shown to give excellent agreement with available experimental data.

Theoretical lift and drag of thin triangular wings at supersonic speeds

Description: "A method is derived for calculating the lift and the drag due to lift of point-forward triangular wings and a restricted series of sweptback wings at supersonic speeds. The elementary or "supersonic sources" solution of the linearized equation of motion is used to find the potential function of a line of doublets. The flow about the triangular flat plate is then obtained by a surface distribution of these doublet lines. The lift-curve slope of triangular wings is found to be a function of the … more

Investigation of Minimum Drag and Maximum Lift-Drag Ratios of Several Wing-Body Combinations Including a Cambered Triangular Wing at Low Reynolds Numbers and at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Theoretical and experimental data for wing-body combinations with wings of triangular, arrow, and diamond plan form are presented for Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 and a Reynolds number range of 1.4 x 10 to the 6th power to 0.7 x 10 to the 6th power. Included are two each of triangular and arrow plan-form wings cambered for approximately uniform load at m = 1.62 and lift coefficients of 0.08 and 0.20. Liquid-film studies of the flow over the various configurations are also presented.

Damping in pitch and roll of triangular wings at supersonic speeds

Description: The expressions for the damping derivatives in pitch and roll of triangular wings are derived by means of the linearized theory. In the method used, the wing is represented by an unknown distribution of doublets. An integral equation containing the unknown distribution is set up and solved by analogy with known incompressible flow relations. It is pointed out that the results may be used to obtain damping coefficients of a limited series of sweptback wings, the most interesting of which are the… more

Investigation of Minimum Drag and Maximum Lift-Drag Ratios of Several Wing-Body Combinations Including a Cambered Triangular Wing at Low Reynolds Numbers and at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting testing of wing-body combinations incorporating several wing plan forms of theoretical interest at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 in the supersonic tunnel. One triangular, one arrow, and tow diamond plan forms were tested. Results regarding minimum drag, lift-curve slope, center-of-pressure positions, drag due to lift, and lift-drag ratios are provided.

A method for the calculation of external lift, moment, and pressure drag of slender open-nose bodies of revolution at supersonic speeds

Description: An approximate method is presented for the calculation of the external lift, moment, and pressure drag of slender open-nose bodies of revolution of supersonic speeds. The lift, moment, and pressure drag of a typical ram-jet body shape are calculated at Mach numbers 1.45, 1.60, 1.75, and 3.00; and the lift and moment results are compared with available experimental data. The agreement of the calculated lift and moment data with the experimental data is excellent. The pressure-drag comparison was… more

Preliminary wind-tunnel tests of triangular and rectangular wings in steady roll at Mach numbers of 1.62 and 1.92

Description: Damping-in-roll coefficients for a series of triangular plan-form wings and two rectangular plan-form wings have been obtained from supersonic-tunnel tests. The wings were mounted on a body of revolution and tested at Mach numbers of 1.62 and 1.92.

Preliminary Wind-Tunnel Tests of Triangular and Rectangular Wings in Steady Roll at Mach Numbers of 1.62 and 1.92

Description: Report presenting the damping-in-roll coefficients for a series of thin triangular plan-form wings and two rectangular wings in the 9-inch supersonic wind tunnel. The damping in roll of the rectangular wings was very close to what was predicted by linear theory, but the triangular wings gave results approximately 10 percent below that predicted when the wing leading edges were well ahead of or behind the Mach cone.

On slender delta wings with leading-edge separation

Description: Report presenting the slender-body approximation of linearized compressible flow as applied to the problem of a delta wing in which flow separation occurs at the leading edges. Leading-edge separation was found to produce an increase in lift over that given by the Jones slender-wing theory and that lift does not linearly increase with angle of attack.
