The Measurement of Pressure Through Tubes in Pressure Distribution Tests

Description: "The tests described in this report were made to determine the error caused by using small tubes to connect orifices on the surface of aircraft to central pressure capsules in making pressure distribution tests. Aluminum tubes of 3/16-inch inside diameter were used to determine this error. Lengths from 20 feet to 226 feet and pressures whose maxima varied from 2 inches to 140 inches of water were used. Single-pressure impulses for which the time of rise of pressure from zero to a maximum varied… more

Wind-Tunnel Tests of a Clark Y Wing With a Narrow Auxiliary Airfoil in Different Positions

Description: "Aerodynamic force tests were made on a combination of a Clark Y wing and a narrow auxiliary airfoil to find the best location of the auxiliary airfoil with respect to the main wing. The auxiliary was a highly cambered airfoil of medium thickness having a chord 14.5 per cent that of the main wing. It was tested in 141 different positions ahead of, above, and behind the nose portion of the main wing, the range of the test points being extended until the best aerodynamic conditions were covered" … more

Tensile Elastic Properties of Typical Stainless Steels and Nonferrous Metals as Affected by Plastic Deformation and by Heat Treatment

Description: A general discussion is given of the relationships between stress, strain, and permanent set. From stress-set curves are derived proof stresses based on five different percentages of permanent set. The influence of prior plastic extension on these values is illustrated and discussed. A discussion is given of the influence of work-hardening, rest interval, and internal stress on the form of the proof stress-extension curve.

Low-Speed Investigation of a Semisubmerged Air Scoop With and Without Boundary-Layer Suction

Description: "A preliminary low-speed investigation has been made of an air scoop submerged one-half the inlet height in a depression on the surface of a simulated fuselage. Boundary-layer suction was used on the steep approach ramp to improve the internal flow. A 6-degree-included-angle diffuser with an area ratio of 1.9:1 was located behind the inlet in the model. Most of the tests were conducted with an initial turbulent boundary layer believed to approximate that which would occur on the forward part of… more

Low-Speed Longitudinal Stability and Lateral-Control Characteristics of a 0.3-Scale Model of the Republic RF-84F Airplane at a Reynolds Number of 9x10(exp 6)

Description: From Summary: "An investigation was conducted in the Langley 19-foot pressure tunnel on a 0.3-scale model of the Republic RF-84F airplane to determine modifications which would eliminate the pitch-up that occurred near maximum lift during flight tests of the airplane. The effects of high-lift and stall-control devices, horizontal tail locations, external stores, and various inlets on the longitudinal characteristics of the model were investigated. For the most part, these tests were conducted a… more

Effect of a Decelerating Grid on Current from an Ion Source

Description: Abstract: "A theoretical criterion is given for the conditions under which the ions from an ion source may be decelerated by a decelerating grid, following the accelerating grid which extracts ions from the emitter, without causing a reduction in the current supplied by the source."

An experimental evaluation of several design variations of hollow turbine blades for expendable engine application

Description: From Summary: "An investigation was made to evaluate several design variations of hollow turbine blades intended for missile-engine use. In one general type, the airfoils were formed from sheet metal; in a second type, the blades were cast. The blades were operated in J47 engine at 7950 rpm turbine speed and 1260 degrees Fahrenheit tail-pipe temperature until a failure occurred or a service life of 30 hours had been attained."
