Range Performance of Bombers Powered by Turbine-Propeller Power Plants

Description: "Calculations have been made to find ranges attainable by bombers of gross weights from l40,000 to 300,000 pounds powered by turbine-propeller power plants. Only conventional configurations were considered and emphasis was placed upon using data for structural and aerodynamic characteristics which are typical of modern military airplanes. An effort was made to limit the various parameters invoked in the airplane configuration to practical values" (p. 1).

Investigation of the NACA 3-(3)(05)-05 Eight-Blade Dual-Rotating Propeller at Forward Mach Numbers to 0.925

Description: Report presenting force testing on an NACA 3-(3)(05)-05 eight-blade dual-rotating propeller at a range of blade angles. Results indicated that good efficiencies can be obtained at high subsonic forward Mach numbers by operation at high blade angle. Results regarding the propeller characteristics, individual power coefficients, effect of forward Mach number on the maximum efficiency of the dual propeller, and effect of small changes in the rear-propeller blade angle on the dual-propeller charact… more

Performance of J33-A-27 Turbojet-Engine Compressor, III, Over-All Performance Characteristics of Modified Compressor with Water Injection at Design Equivalent Speed of 11,800 RPM

Description: An investigation was conducted to determine the effects of water injection on the over-all performance of a modified J33-A-27 turbojet-engine compressor at the design equivalent speed of 11,800 rpm. The water-air ratio by weight was 0.05. With water injection the peak pressure ratio increased 9.0 per- cent, the maximum efficiency decreased 15 percent (actual numerical difference 0.12), and. the maximum total weight flow increased 9.3 percent.
