Model ditching investigation of the Douglas DC-4 and DC-6 airplanes

Description: Report presenting the ditching characteristics of the Douglas DC-4 and DC-6 in a water tank. Dynamically similar models of 1/16 scale were used for the investigation, which was conducted in calm and rough water. The ditching characteristics and safest ditching procedures were determined by testing at various landing attitudes, speeds, and simulated conditions of damage.

Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a Semispan Model of a Supersonic Airplane Configuration at Transonic Speeds From Tests by the NACA Wing-Flow Method

Description: Report presenting an investigation using the NACA wing-flow method to determine the longitudinal stability and control characteristics at transonic speeds of a semispan airplane model with a long slender fuselage, straight wing, and tail of low aspect ratio with faired symmetrical double-wedge airfoil sections. Measurements of the normal force and pitching moments at various angles of attack with five different stabilizer angles of incidence were recorded. The tests were carried out a range of … more

Yaw Characteristics of a 52 Degree Sweptback Wing of NACA 64(Sub 1)-112 Section With a Fuselage and With Leading-Edge and Split Flaps at Reynolds Numbers From 1.93 X 10(Exp 6) to 6.00 X 10(Exp 6)

Description: Report presenting low-speed testing in the pressure tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics in yaw of a 52 degree sweptback wing with aspect ratio 2.88 and taper ratio 0.625 with NACA 64(sub 1)-112 airfoil sections. Testing included an investigation of the effects on the lateral stability of a fuselage and leading-edge and split flaps. Results regarding the lateral stability parameters of a plain wing, effect of flaps on the lateral stability parameters, effect of scale, and airflow… more

An Investigation of the Characteristics of an Unswept Wing of Aspect Ratio 4.01 in the Langley 8-Foot High-Speed Tunnel

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the characteristics of a low-aspect-ratio wing at high subsonic Mach numbers in the high-speed tunnel. The wing model had an NACA 65-108 airfoil section, an aspect ratio of 4.01, a taper ratio of 0.498, and no twist or dihedral. Results regarding normal-force characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, and drag characteristics are provided.

Critical combinations of shear and transverse direct stress for an infinitely long flat plate with edges elastically restrained against rotation

Description: An exact solution and a closely concurring approximate energy solution are given for the buckling of an infinitely long flat plate under combined shear and transverse direct stress with edges elastically restrained against rotation. It was found that an appreciable fraction of the critical stress in pure shear may be applied to the plate without any reduction in the transverse compressive stress necessary to produce buckling. An interaction formula in general use was shown to be decidedly conse… more

Start-up of the 100-B pile following 1569-B tube failure

Description: Tube 1569-B ruptured on September 22, 1948 and was replaced. Between the time of failure and final isolation of this tube, considerable water escaped into the graphite packing. As a result, the unit start-up and subsequent operation was quite different from that usually followed. This report has been prepared to summarize the observations and activities related to this operation.

Altitude performance and operational characteristics of 29-inch-diameter tail-pipe burner with several fuel systems and flame holders on J35 turbojet engine

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of turbojet-engine thrust augmentation by means of tail-pipe burning has been conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel. Several fuel systems and flame holders were investigated in a 29-inch-diameter tail-pipe burner to determine the effect of fuel distribution and flame-holder design on tail-pipe-burner performance and operational characteristics over a range of simulated flight conditions. At an altitude of 5000 feet, the type of flame holder used had on… more

Progress Report : Low Geometry Alpha Particle Ionization Chambers

Description: ABSTRACT. When solutions of high specific alpha activity are to be assayed for product, it is often difficult to obtain reproducible results by diluting the solution sufficiently to remove a small volume from which a sample can be prepared and counted at 52% geometry. In order to assay such a solution, most reproducible results have been obtained with minimum effort in sample preparation by making use of low geometry chambers. Two types of low geometry chambers are described: 1) The air-screen … more
