Wind-Tunnel Measurement of Static Forces on Internally Carried Bombs of Two Different Bluff Shapes in the Flow Field of a Swept-Wing Fighter-Bomber Configuration at a Mach Number of 1.6

Description: Report discussing the influence of forces and moments on a fighter-bomber airplane with an open bomb bay and on two bluff bomb shapes in various positions below the fuselage and plane of symmetry. The wing was found to have a noticeable effect on bomb forces and that bluff bombs affect the longitudinal characteristics of the wing-fuselage combination.

Preliminary investigation of the altitude performance of pentaborane and a pentaborane : JP-4 blend in an experimental 9.5-inch-diameter tubular combustor

Description: From Summary: "A preliminary investigation was conducted to determine the altitude performance of pentaborane and a blend fuel of 64.2 percent pentaborane in JP-4 fuel in a tubular combustor of a current production type turbojet engine. Deposits on the liner barrel and dome were virtually nonexistent. The combustion efficiency of 90 to 94 percent for pentaborane and approximately 90 percent for the blend. Outlet temperature profiles were marginal; however, the developed combustor provided lower… more

Preliminary investigation of the characteristics of a two dimensional wing and propeller with the propeller plane of rotation in the wing-chord plane

Description: Report detailing an investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing-propeller combination with the propeller rotating in the wing-chord plane of a two-dimensional wing. Total static lift was measured with and without the wing for a 3-foot-diameter propeller, while the effects of a ground plane on the static lift of the wing-propeller combination were measured with a 2-foot-diameter propeller. Results regarding static testing, forward speed tests, and propeller loads are provided.

Free-Flight Aerodynamic-Heating Data to a Mach Number of 15.5 on a Blunted Conical Nose With a Total Angle of 29 Degrees

Description: Report presenting testing of a five-stage rocket-propelled model flown to a Mach number of 15.5 and an altitude of 98,200 feet. Temperatures were measured at six stations along the inside surface of the blunted conical nose with a total angle of 29 degrees. Experimental and theoretical values were similar at the first temperature measuring station, but the experimental results became increasingly greater than the theoretical values at rearward measuring stations.

Measurement of Static Pressure on Aircraft

Description: "Existing data on the errors involved in the measurement of static pressure by means of static-pressure tubes and fuselage vents are presented. The errors associated with the various design features of static-pressure tubes are discussed for the condition of zero angle of attack and for the case where the tube is included to the flow. Errors due to variations in the configuration of static-pressure vents are also presented" (p. 1).

Exploratory Investigation of Transpiration Cooling of a 40 Degree Double Wedge Using Nitrogen and Helium as Coolants at Stagnation Temperatures of 1,295 to 2,910 Degrees F

Description: Report presenting an investigation of transpiration cooling in a preflight jet model consisting of a double wedge of 40 degrees included angle with a porous stainless-steel specimen inserted flush with the top surface of the wedge. Nitrogen and helium were used as coolants and testing was conducted for flow rates ranging from about 0.03 to 0.30 percent of the local weight flow. The helium coolant required only about one-fourth to one-fifth the coolant flow weight as the nitrogen coolant for the… more

Free-flight investigation of comparative zero-lift rolling effectiveness of a leading edge and a trailing edge air-jet spoiler on an unswept wing

Description: Report presenting a free-flight investigation of the zero-lift rolling effectiveness of air-jet spoilers on an unswept flexible wing over a range of Mach numbers. Testing was made to determine the relative effectiveness of air-jet spoilers at leading-edge and trailing-edge locations. The leading-edge jet spoiler exhibited near-zero effectiveness at transonic speeds and had a roll reversal between Mach numbers 0.93 and 1.35.

Evaluation of Several Ram-Jet Combustor Configurations Using Pentaborane Fuel

Description: Report presenting an investigation of several combustor configurations to determine if the length of the engine could be reduced. Testing indicated that when using a highly reactive fuel in the low subsonic region of the diffuser, part of the engine length can be eliminated.
