Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 0.04956-Scale Model of the Convair TF-102A Airplane at Transonic Speeds, Coord. No. AF-120

Description: "The basic aerodynamic characteristics of a 0.04956-scale model of the Convair TF-102A airplane with controls undeflected have been determined at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.135 for angles of attack up to approximately 22 deg in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel. In addition, comparisons have been made with data obtained from a previous investigation of a 0.04956-scale model of the Convair F-102A airplane. The results indicated the TF-102A airplane was longitudinally stable for all conditions… more

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Circular Cylinder at Mach Number 6.86 and Angles of Attack Up to 90 Degrees

Description: "Pressure-distribution and force tests of a circular cylinder have been made in the Langley 11-inch hypersonic tunnel at a Mach number of 6.88, a Reynolds number of 129,000, and angles of attack up to 90 degrees. The results are compared with the hypersonic approximation of Grimminger, Williams, and Young and a simple modification of the Newtonian flow theory. An evaluation of the crossflow theory is made through comparison of present results with available crossflow Mach number drag coefficien… more

Aerodynamic interference of slender wing-tail combinations

Description: From Introduction: "In the present paper, the emphasis is placed on calculating the variations of total forces and moments with angles of attack and sideslip for a number of slender plane and cruciform wing-tail combinations and for some airplane-type arrangements of a plane wing and a horizontal and vertical tail."

ANALYSIS OF PROMPT EXCURSIONS IN SIMPLE SYSTEMS

Description: A calculation, coded for a fast computer, is discussed that can fairly accurately match the experimental resuIts obtained from the LASL Lady Godiva prompt burst program. In particular, the code can predict the reactivity where the burst yield deviates from a linear dependence on reactivity and commences to rise much more rapidly. The burst width and maximum rates can be predictcd with reasonable accuracy. The calculation is applied to other simple systems, with the result that there appear to b… more

An Analysis of William Walton's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra

Description: The rhythmic analyses (derived from the rhythm tables of Chapter II) reveal: 1. Walton used rhythms sparingly. 2. Walton's rhythms constitute an evolutionary state of re-creation, i. e., Walton's rhythms are in empathy with each other. The harmonic analyses (derived from the harmonic fluctuation tables of Chapter II) reveal: 1. The most frequent chords of any classification occur in groups III and IV (chords of the highest tension). 2. The most frequent dissonant interval used is that of the ma… more

Analytical investigation of the effect of water injection on supersonic turbojet-engine - inlet matching and thrust augmentation

Description: From Introduction: "In order to provide engine-inlet matching to prevent such mass flow spillage and the attendant drags, much mechanical complication has been introduced. References 1 and 2 propose employing this principle at subsonic and supersonic speeds to achieve thrust augmentation. The merits of the system for supersonic engine-inlet airflow matching, as well as thrust augmentation, appear considerable; and a comparative study with existing fixed- and variable-geometry inlets was theref… more
