SARA : a Small Automated Reasoning Assistant

Description: SARA is a rewriting system where the rewrite rules are heads of Horn clauses. Thus an expression is rewritten only when the conjunction of goals in the body of the Horn clause is true. The system has a model of rewriting as construction of a linked graph with expressions annotating nodes and rewritings annotating arcs. Cycles in the graph are recognized and may be specially processed by the user. The default is to use an alternative rewriting rule to break out of this cycle.

Resume of Hinge-Moment Data for Unshielded Horn- Balanced Control Surfaces

Description: Report summarizes the available hinge-moment data for unshielded horn-balanced control surfaces. The purpose is to correlate the available data to assist with estimating the balance characteristics for use in the design and alteration of control surfaces with horn balances. Plan forms and variation of incremental hinge-moment-coefficient slopes with balance coefficients are presented.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Rounded Horns and of Guards on a Horizontal Tail Surface

Description: Report discussing an investigation of the aerodynamic effects of horn balances with various plan forms and of guards on a horizontal tail surface. Rounding the adjacent horn and stabilizer edges causes negligible changes to aerodynamic effects except for the area moment of the horn. A solid horn guard mounted on the end of the stabilizer was found to increase the rate of change of lift with angle of attack and elevator deflection.

Wind-tunnel investigation of unshielded horn balances on a horizontal tail surface

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a horizontal tail surface with various amounts of unshielded horn balance and with the surface condition similar to that of a typical fabric-covered elevator.

High-speed aerodynamic characteristics of horn and overhang balances on a full-scale elevator

Description: Report presenting high-speed wind tunnel testing of horn- and overhang-balance elevators on a full-scale, semispan, horizontal tail. The effects of unshielding the horn and unsealing the overhang were investigated. Results regarding aerodynamic characteristics, distortions of the tail, and critical Mach numbers are provided.

Investigation of Horn Balances on a 45 Degree Sweptback Horizontal Tail Surface at High Subsonic Speeds

Description: A wind-tunnel investigation of horn balances on a 45 degree sweptback, semispan, horizontal tail surface was made to determine the effects of horn size and inboard-edge fairing at a Mach number of 0.30 and to determine the effects of compressibility up to a Mach number of 0.89. Presented are lift, drag, pitching-moment, and hinge-moment data and lift and hinge-moment parameters.

Aerodynamic characteristics at transonic speeds of a 60 degree delta wing equipped with a constant-chord flap-type control with and without an unshielded horn balance: transonic-bump method

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the control hinge moments and effectiveness at transonic speeds of a delta wing equipped with a constant-chord flap-type control with and without an unshielded triangular horn balance in the 7- by 10-foot tunnel using the transonic-bump method. The data indicated that the horn balance control was consistently more effective in changing lift at all Mach numbers than was the plain control but there was no appreciable difference in pitching-moment ef… more

Geology of Big Horn County and the Crow Indian Reservation, Montana: with Special Reference to the Water, Coal, Oil and Gas Resources

Description: From introduction: This report contains information concerning the geology of Big Horn County and the Crow Indian Reservation and their resources in ground water, coal, oil, and gas. These facts were collected in the course of studies for about a dozen field projects, which ranged in character from reconnaissance studies of large areas to very detailed mapping of certain tracts to show the occurrence of oil and gas. Consequently, the information at hand, either as to the geology or the resource… more
