The Measurement of the Field of View From Airplane Cockpits

Description: "A method has been devised for the angular measurement and graphic portrayal of the view obtained from the pilot's cockpit of an airplane. The assumption upon which the method is based and a description of the instrument, designated a "visiometer", used in the measurement are given. Account is taken of the fact that the pilot has two eyes and two separate sources of vision. The view is represented on charts using an equal-area polar projection, a description and proof of which are given" (p. 16… more

Ground Effect on Downwash Angles and Wake Location

Description: "A theoretical study was made of the reduction in downwash and the upward displacement of the wake in the presence of the ground, and some verification of theory was obtained by means of air-flow measurements made with a ground-board and image-wing combination. Methods are given for estimating the effects and numerous examples are included to illustrate the nature of these effects and to show their order of magnitude" (p. 1).

Endurance Tests of a 22-Inch-Diameter Pulse-Jet Engine With a Neoprene-Coated Valve Grid

Description: Report discussing the results of testing to determine the operating life of a 22-inch-diameter pulse-jet engine equipped with a neoprene-coated valve grid. The valve grid was found to extend the operating life and only reduced the performance slightly.

July 16th nuclear explosion: Permanent earth displacement

Description: A measurement was made of the permanent earth movement in the neighborhood of the tower caused by the nuclear explosion at Trinity. The crater was apparently formed by a compression phenomenon and was noted to be much shallower than craters formed by ordinary high explosives. Scaling up existing information on the radius of craters, the TNT equivalence of the nuclear bomb is given as 10,000 tons to within 50 percent. Observations were made on the damage in the crater region and suggestions are … more

The Quantitative Estimation of the Activity of Beta Particle Emitters

Description: From abstract: "In estimating the activities of β-emitting materials used in the Biology Section, most measurements were made with Geiger-Mueller counters, although Lauritsen electroscopes were used in early work. All samples were mounted on flat porcelain capsules."

Free-Spinning Tunnel Tests of a 1/20-Scale Model of the Chance Vought XF6U-1 Airplane, TED No. NACA 2390

Description: "A spin investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/20-scale model of the Chance Vought XF6U-1 airplane. The effects of control settings and movements upon the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the normal-fighter condition. The investigation also included tests for the take-off fighter condition (wing-tip tanks plus fuel added) spin-recovery parachutes, and simulated pilot escape" (p. 1).

Effects of sweep on the maximum-lift characteristics of four aspect-ratio-4 wings at transonic speeds

Description: Report presenting an investigation at transonic speeds in the high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the effect of wing sweep on the maximum-lift characteristics of a series of wings with aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.6, and NACA 65A006 airfoil sections. Testing occurred over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Maximum lift coefficients were found to increase with increased sweep at lower Mach numbers but decreased with increase sweep at higher Mach numbers.
