Some Considerations Regarding the Application of the Supersonic Area Rule to the Design of Airplane Fuselages

Description: Memorandum presenting certain considerations and techniques pertinent to the application of the supersonic area rule to the design of airplane fuselages. Some of the factors considered are an extension of the rule to account for the interference effects of the wing and tail on the general flow field for asymmetrical configurations, the determination of fuselage area developments which result in approximately the minimum wave drag, and the influence of wing parameters and design Mach number on t… more

Improvements in Heat Transfer for Anti-Icing of Gas-Heated Airfoils with Internal Fins and Partitions

Description: "The effect of modifying the gas passage of hollow metal airfoils by the addition of internal fins and partitions was experimentally investigated and comparisons were made among a basic unfinned airfoil section and two airfoil designs having metal fins attached at the leading edge of the internal gas passage. An analysis considering the effects of heat conduction in the airfoil metal was made to determine the internal modification effectiveness that may be obtained in gas-heated components, suc… more

Use of Truncated Flapped Airfoils for Impingement and Icing Tests of Full-Scale Leading-Edge Sections

Description: From Summary: "In an effort to increase the operational range of existing small icing tunnels, the use of truncated airfoil sections has been suggested.
