Tank investigation of the Grumman JRF-5 airplane with a single hydro-ski and an extended afterbody

Description: Report presenting results from a tank investigation of a powered dynamic model of the Grumman JRF-5 airplane fitted with a single hydro-ski and extended afterbody. Results indicated that the afterbody extension in place of a tail ski reduced the maximum resistance by 10 percent. Removal of the wing-tip skids gave a further reduction in maximum resistance of 3 percent.

Effect of Formation Position on Load Factors Obtained on F2H Airplanes

Description: Report presenting results of a four-plane formation flight with twelve pull-up maneuvers in the form of plots of maximum load factor attained versus airplane position for three combinations of four F2H airplanes. The load factor was generally found to increase toward the end of the formation, and movements of the lead plane that are too sharp might cause excessive loads on the last plane in the formation.

Investigation of off-design performance of shock-in-rotor type supersonic blading

Description: An analysis of the off-design performance of shock-in rotor-type supersonic blading is presented. The over-all losses are assumed divided into two groups;normal-shock losses, and external-wave losses. Throughout the range of relative entrance Mach numbers from 1.35 to starting, the largest losses can be attributed to the normal shock. An improvement in performance would be expected with a reduction of the normal-shock losses by the introduction of external compression waves.

A study of elastic and plastic stress concentration factors due to notches and fillets in flat plates

Description: Six large 24s-t3 aluminum-alloy-sheet specimens containing various notches or fillets were tested in tension to determine their stress concentration factors in both the elastic and plastic ranges. The elastic stress concentration factors were found to be slightly higher than those calculated by Neuber's method and those obtained photoelastically by Frocht. The results showed further that the stress concentration factor decreases as strains at the discontinuity enter the plastic range. A general… more

Discussion of boundary-layer characteristics near the wall of an axial-flow compressor

Description: From Summary: "The boundary-layer velocity profiles in the tip region of an axial-flow compressor downstream of the guide vanes and downstream of the rotor were measured by use of total-pressure and claw-type yaw probes. These velocities were resolved into two components: one along the streamline of the flow outside the boundary layer, and the other perpendicular to it. The affinity among all profiles was thus demonstrated with the boundary-layer thickness and the deflection of the boundary lay… more

Investigation of Turbine-Outlet Temperature Distribution of XJ34-WE-32 Turbojet Engine

Description: "Turbine-outlet radial temperature distributions of an XJ34-WE-32 turbojet engine were investigated in the altitude wind tunnel at the NACA Lewis laboratory over a range of pressure altitudes, engine-inlet air temperatures and flight Mach numbers at or near rated engine conditions. From blade stress considerations, the turbine-outlet temperature distribution was considered satisfactory at altitudes up to 25,000 feet at corrected engine speeds corresponding to rated speed (12,500 rpm); however, … more
