Free-Spinning Characteristics of a 1/21-Scale Model of the Douglas AD-2W Airplane: TED No. NACA DE329

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the spin and recovery characteristics of a model of the Douglas AD-2W airplane, which has a large radome installation. Results indicated that the plane has satisfactory erect and inverted spin-recovery characteristics. Information about erect spins, inverted spins, and recommended recovery technique is provided.

Experimental investigation at supersonic speeds of twin-scoop duct inlets of equal area 2: effects of slots upon an inlet enclosing 61.5 percent of the maximum circumference of the forebody

Description: Report presenting tests at Mach numbers between 1.36 and 2.01 of a twin-scoop duct inlet that had slots in the walls of the duct contiguous to the forebody and immediately behind the inlet. The mass flow and total-pressure recovery through the diffusor were measured during tests in which the slot length was constant and the slot width and ramp angle were varied. Results regarding mass flow and total-pressure recovery are provided.

An experimental investigation of NACA submerged inlets at high subsonic speeds 1: inlets forward of the wing leading edge

Description: From Summary: "This report covers the first part of an experimental investigation of NACA submerged inlets at four locations on the fuselage of a fighter airplane model for Mach numbers from 0.30 to 0.875. Data are presented showing the characteristics of the model without inlets and with inlets 16.7 percent of the root chord forward of the wing-root leading edge and equipped with small boundary-layer deflectors. The data show that variations in the mass of air entering the inlet had a large ef… more

Preliminary Results of an Investigation by the Wing-Flow Method of the Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a 1/50-Scale Semispan Model of the McDonnell XP-88 Airplane

Description: "This paper presents the results of measurements of longitudinal stability of a 1/50-scale model of the XP-88 airplane by the wing-flow method. Lift, rolling-moment, hinge-moment, and pitching-moment characteristics as well as the downwash at the tail were measured over a Mach number range from approximately 0.5 to 1.05 at Reynolds numbers below 1,000,000. No measurements of drag were obtained" (p. 1).
