The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis VIII. The Role of MalicAcid

Description: Malonate has been found to inhibit the formation of malic acid during short periods of photosynthesis with radioactive carbon dioxide. This result, together with studies which show the photosynthetic cycle to be operating normally at the same time, indicates that malic acid is not an intermediate in photosynthesis but is probably closely related to some intermediate of the cycle. Absence of labeled succinic and fumaric acids in these experiments, in addition to the failure of malonate to inhibi… more

The Effect of Spanwise Aileron Location on the Rolling Effectiveness of Wings With 0 Degree and 45 Degree Sweep at Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds

Description: Report discussing an investigation of the effect of spanwise aileron location on the rolling effectiveness of plain faired ailerons on untapered wing plan forms with designated sweep, airfoil sections, and aspect ratio using rocket-propelled test vehicles. Drag data is also presented for all configurations tested. Spanwise aileron location was found to have little effect on the effectiveness of the aileron on an unswept wing plan form.

Model Ditching Investigations of Three Airplanes Equipped With Hydro-Skis

Description: "Model investigations were made to determine the ditching characteristics of three typical multiengine airplanes equipped with possible arrangements of hydro-ski ditching gear. The behavior of the models was determined from visual observations, acceleration records, and motion pictures of the landings. Data are presented in tabular form and sequence photographs" (p. 1).

Effects of inlet icing on performance of axial-flow turbojet engine in natural icing conditions

Description: A flight investigation in natural icing conditions was conducted to determine the effect of inlet ice formations on the performance of axial-flow turbojet engines. The results are presented for icing conditions ranging from a liquid-water content of 0.1 to 0.9 gram per cubic meter and water-droplet size from 10 to 27 microns at ambient-air temperature from 13 to 26 degrees F. The data show time histories of jet thrust, air flow, tail-pipe temperature, compressor efficiency, and icing parameters… more
