An Investigation of the Low-Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of Swept-Forward and Swept-Back Wing in the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel

Description: "An investigation has been made at large scale of the characteristics of highly swept wings. Data were obtained at several angles of sideslip on wings having angles of sweep of plus or minus 45 degrees, plus or minus 30 degrees, and 0 degrees. The airfoil sections of the wings varied from approximately NACA 0015 at the root to NACA 23009 at the tip. Each wing was investigated with flaps under flection, partial-span split flaps deflected 60 degrees, full-span split flaps defected 60 degrees and … more

Effect of Chordwise Vanes on Amplitude of Tail Buffeting

Description: "Flight tests have been made with a P-51D airplane to determine the effect of chordwise vanes on the amplitude of tail buffeting. The tests made during abrupt pull-ups to the buffeting boundary included strain measurements on wing and tail and tuft studies over the wing. The results indicate that the vanes tested have no appreciable effect on the amplitude of tail buffeting" (p. 1).

An Analysis of Airspeeds and Mach Numbers Attained by Lockheed Constellation Airplanes in Transcontinental Operations During the Early Summer of 1946

Description: Report presenting airspeed and altitude data obtained from Lockheed Constellation airplanes flying between New York and San Francisco during May and June of 1946 in order to determine the probability of reaching or exceeding given values of airspeed and Mach number. Analysis indicated that the total probability of exceeding the placard "never extend" speed depends primarily on the probability of exceeding this speed in descent. The probability of exceeding the critical Mach number is very negli… more

Analytical Comparison of a Standard Turbojet Engine, a Turbojet Engine with a Tail-Pipe Burner, and a Ram-Jet Engine

Description: From Introduction: "Experimental investigations (reference 1) have shown that in some cases the thrust can be more than doubled by means of tail-pipe burning. A comparison is made of a standard turbojet engine, whose thrust is augmented by tail-pipe burning, and a ram-jet engine. The performance characteristics for the ram-jet engine were computed entirely from theoretical considerations and on the assumption that the burner-inlet velocity was constant."

Description: Heat-transfer data from supersonic wind-tunnel tests of a heated 20 degree cone are compared with theoretical results obtained by the method for determining the convective heat transfer in laminar boundary layers in a compressible fluid developed by Hantzche and Wendt and with the method presented in NACA TN No. 1300. The experimental data are also compared with the results obtained by Eber at the Kochel Laboratory in Germany and it is found that Eber's results correspond to those obtained with… more
