Preliminary write-up on wafer concept

Description: The objectives of this research effort concerned with laminated fuel elements are: (1) elimination or at least a substantial lowering of the rupture rate at present power levels and exposures; (2) pile operation at substantially higher power levels; and (3) long exposures, 3000 MWD/AT or greater and, therefore, a high degree of burnup.

Wing-Body Combinations With Wings of Very Low Aspect Ratio at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting force and moment characteristics of configurations employing wings of very low aspect ratio as determined for Mach numbers of 1.97 and 3.33. The angle of attack range was from 0 to 17 degrees for Mach number 1.97 and from 0 to 30 degrees for Mach number 3.33. Results regarding experimental force and moment characteristics, comparisons of theoretical and experimental force and moment characteristics, and visual observations of flow over models are provided.

A theoretical study of the lifting efficiency at supersonic speeds of wings utilizing indirect lift induced by vertical surfaces

Description: Report presenting a theoretical study of the possibility of improving the lifting efficiency of aircraft flying at supersonic speeds using indirect lift, which can be induced on the wing by the fuselage shape and/or wing end plates. Results indicated that lifting efficiency of a planar wing may be improved by favorable interference induced by lateral forces on the end plates or on the sides of the fuselage.

Wind Tunnel Investigation at Low Speed of Aerodynamic Characteristics of Army Chemical Corps Model E-112 Bomblets with Span Chord Ratio of 2 - 1

Description: "An experimental investigation has been made in the Langley stability tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the Army Chemical Corps model E-112 bomblets with span-chord ratio of 2:1. A detailed analysis has not been made; however, the results showed that all the models were spirally unstable and that a large gap between the model tips and end plates tended to reduce the instability" (p. 1).

Investigation of a 1/22-Scale of the Republic F-105 Airplane in the Langley 8-Foot Transonic Tunnel: Static Longitudinal Stability and Control and Performance Characteristics at Transonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of various configurations of the Republic F-105 in the transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.13. Results in this report include the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics, the effect of various configuration modifications on lift-drag ratio, the effect of subsonic and supersonic inlets and external stores, and the effect of area-distribution modifications on performance.

Full-Scale Wind-Tunnel Tests of a 35 Degree Swept-Wing Fighter Airplane With a Spoiler-Slot-Deflector Lateral Control System

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a 35 degree swept-wing fighter airplane with a segmented spoiler-slot deflector lateral control system installed ahead of the conventional ailerons and operated as individual units and as combined segments. The longitudinal characteristics of the airplane and spoiler-slot-deflector effectiveness data were obtained through the complete angle-of-attack range with the ailerons neutral and with the aile… more

An Investigation of Ejection Releases of Submerged and Semisubmerged Dynamically Scaled Stores From a Simulated Bomb Bay of a Fighter-Bomber Airplane at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the release characteristics of several dynamically scaled store shapes from a simulated bomb bay at Mach numbers of 1.39, 1.60, and 1.98. A streamline store, a blunt-nose store with wedge-type fins of low aspect ratio, and a bluff store with a skirt were tested. Results regarding pitching motions, ejection velocity, effect of increase in altitude, and addition of plate or spike to the nose of the store are provided.

Supersonic-Area-Rule Design and Rocket-Propelled Flight Investigation of a Zero-Lift Straight-Wing-Body-Nacelle Configuration Between Mach Numbers 0.8 and 1.53

Description: Memorandum presenting an application of the supersonic area rule concept to the deign of a straight-wing-body combination with large symmetrically mounted nacelles located at the 70-percent-semispan station. The pressure drag from the configuration with nacelles was found to be significantly less than that from a corresponding configuration without nacelles throughout the Mach number range.
