Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Ordinary and Split Flaps on Airfoils of Different Profile

Description: Report presents the results of wind tunnel tests of the Clark Y, the NACA 23012 and the NACA 23021 airfoils equipped with full-span ordinary flaps and with full-span simple split flaps. The principal object of the tests was to determine the characteristics of the airfoils with ordinary flaps and in addition, to determine the relative merits of the various airfoils when equipped with either ordinary flaps or with simple split flaps. The Clark Y airfoil was tested with 3 widths of ordinary flap, … more

Exposures exceeding tolerance

Description: This letter was written in 1944 and applies to the amount of radiation a person could be subjected to under emergency, wartime conditions. Mr. Stone recommends to Dr. Norwood that no man should be ordered to expose himself to more than a tolerance dose (0.1r in a 24 hr period) except in the case of an extreme emergency in which time is of the essence. And that before any man is asked to exceed tolerance that a radiation trained physician be called in for consultation. His recommendations to sai… more

Flight measurements of the lateral control characteristics of narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge of a full-span slotted flap

Description: From Summary: "Results are presented of light tests made to determine the effect of flap deflection on the lateral control characteristics of a modified Brewster F2A-2 airplane equipped with partial-span narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge of a full-span NACA slotted flap. The investigation included determination of the rolling and yawing characteristics of the airplane in abrupt aileron rolls with the slotted flap at various settings ranging from 0 degree to about 40 degrees. The result… more

Free-Flight Investigation at Transonic and Supersonic Speeds of the Rolling Effectiveness of a 42.7 Degree Sweptback Wing Having Partial-Span Ailerons

Description: An investigation of the rolling effectiveness at transonic and supersonic speeds of partial-span ailerons on a 42.7 degree sweptback wing having symmetrical circular-arc airfoil sections of 10-percent thickness ratio normal to the wing quarter-chord line has been made by means of rocket-propelled test vehicles. The results are compared with results of a supersonic wind-tunnel test at Mach number 1.9.

NACA Transonic Wing-Tunnel Test Sections

Description: Memorandum presenting an approximate subsonic theory developed for the solid blockage interference in circular wind tunnels with walls slotted in the direction of flow. The theory indicated the possibility of obtaining zero blockage interference. Tests in a circular slotted tunnel based on the theory confirmed the theoretical predictions.

Direct Current Electromagnetic Pumps

Description: Abstract: "A number of direct current conduction type electromagnetic pumps for liquid metals were constructed. Pumping capacities of over 400 gpm and efficiencies of over 50 percent were obtained. NaK alloy at temperatures up to 400 C was used in the test. The large currents required were obtained from rectifiers or from a homopolar generator constructed for the purpose."

Fabrication of Uranium Wire

Description: From abstract: "The present report describes experimental work performed to establish a procedure for the production of uranium metal wire. In all cases, the size of the initial rod was 1/2 inch diameter. Three materials were used: hot extruded tuballoy rod, high purity cast tuballoy rod, and cast U-235 rod."
