Investigation of Ejection Releases of an MB-1 Rocket From a 0.04956-Scaled Model of the Convair F-106A Airplane at Mach Number 1.59

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the ejection release characteristics of the MB-1 rocket from the missile bay of a model of the Convair F-106A airplane with its fin tips retracted at a simulated altitude of 18,670 feet.

Some Examples of the Applications of the Transonic and Supersonic Area Rules to the Prediction of Wave Drag

Description: Report presenting a comparison of the experimental wave drags of bodies and wing-body combinations over a wide range of Mach numbers with the computed drags utilizing a 24-term Fourier series application of the supersonic area rule and results of equivalent-body tests. The equivalent-body technique was found to provide a good method for predicting the wave drag of certain wing-body combinations at and below a Mach number of 1, but becomes misleading at Mach numbers greater than 1.

Investigation of the Influence of the Boundaries of a High-Speed Free Water Jet on the Planing Lift of a Flat Plate

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the influence of the boundaries of a high-speed free water jet on the planing lift of a flat plate operating on the surface of the jet. No appreciable influence of speed on the planing lift coefficient for speeds from 50 to 200 feet per second was observed. Results also indicated that the parameters determining the jet size required for a given test condition have not been defined by these brief tests.

Altitude performance of a turbojet engine using pentaborane fuel

Description: From Summary: "The primary objectives of the investigation reported herein were to determine the effect of this new combuster design on boric oxide deposition on engine parts and to determine the effect of boric oxide on the performance of multistage turbine. Pentaborance fuel (approx. 130 lb) was used in the engine performance evaluation reported herein. The data presented herein show the engine component and over-all performance deterioration with operation on pentaborane fuel".
