Some low-speed characteristics of an air-induction system having scoop-type inlets with provisions for boundary-layer control

Description: Report presenting an investigation conducted at low speed of an air-induction system with twin scoop-type inlets on the sides of the fuselage of a model of an airplane designed for flight at supersonic Mach numbers. The leading edge of the lip of the scoop was rounded and there were provisions for control of the boundary layer ahead of the inlet. Results regarding the characteristics of the lips investigated, characteristics of the main duct with lip E, characteristics of the boundary layer con… more

An analytical study of the comparative performance of six air-induction systems for turbojet-powered airplanes designed to operate at Mach numbers up to 2.0

Description: Report presenting an extension of NACA RM A52C14 about inlet design and performance for Mach numbers of 1.5 to 2.0. A two-dimensional inviscid analysis is used to compare the performance of several types of inlets when used in conjunction with a turbojet engine with constant-volume air flow. Results regarding air delivery and air requirements, drag factors, evaluation of inlet performance, significance of the drag summation, and inlet and engine-matching considerations are provided.

An Experimental Investigation at Low Speeds of the Effects of Lip Shape on the Drag and Pressure Recovery of a Nose Inlet in a Body of Revolution

Description: Report presenting wind-tunnel tests of a body of revolution with a circular nose inlet conducted at low speeds to ascertain some of the effects of inlet lip bluntness and profile on diffuser performance and body drag. Testing occurred at free-stream Mach numbers up to 0.330 with inlet flows from zero to choking and a steady 0 degree angle of attack and angle of yaw. Results regarding the internal-flow studies with the strut-mounted model and drag and surface-pressure studies with the sting-supp… more

The effects of blowing over various trailing-edge flaps on an NACA 0006 airfoil section, comparisons with various types of flaps on other airfoil sections, and an analysis of flow and power relationships for blowing systems

Description: Report presenting an investigation of three phases: an experimental investigation of a thin airfoil with blowing over a trailing-edge flap, a comparison of the results of the experimental investigation with the results of other similar investigations, and a theoretical study of the relationships among the air-flow and power parameters for the general blowing case. The investigation utilized a two-dimensional model of the NACA 0006 airfoil equipped with a nose flap and six alternate trailing-edg… more
