Experimental Static Aerodynamic Forces and Moments at Low Speed on a Canard Missle During Simulated Launching From the Midsemispan and Wing-Tip Locations of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing-Fuselage Combination

Description: Report presenting an investigation at low speed to determine the static aerodynamic forces and moments on a canard missile model during launching from the midsemispan and wing-tip locations of a wing-fuselage combination with a 45 degree sweptback wing. When the missile was mounted under the wing at the midsemispan location, changes in chordwise position produced large changes in missile forces and moments.

Flight and Preflight Tests of a Ram Jet Burning Magnesium Slurry Fuel and Utilizing a Solid-Propellant Gas Generator for Fuel Expulsion

Description: Data obtained from the first flight test of a ram jet utilizing a magnesium slurry fuel are presented. The ram jet accelerated from a Mach number of 1.75 to a Mach number of 3.48 in 15.5 seconds.

Flight Measurements of the Dynamic Lateral and Longitudinal Stability of the Bell X-5 Research Airplane at 58.7 Degrees Sweepback

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the dynamic stability of the Bell X-5 research airplane at 58.7 degrees sweepback and at altitudes of 40,000 feet and 25,000 feet over a Mach number range of 0.5 to 0.97. The results show that the longitudinal oscillatory motions are well damped over the entire Mach number range except for residual oscillations resulting primarily from engine gyroscopic coupling with the lateral oscillatory mode. The longitudinal and lateral frequency-response character… more

Flight Tests of a Delta-Wing Vertically Rising Airplane Model Powered by a Ducted Fan

Description: Report presenting the results of an investigation to determine the dynamic stability and control characteristics of a delta-wing vertically rising airplane model powered by a ducted fan. The model had flap-type control surfaces on the wings and vertical tail as well as movable eyelids at the rear of the tail pipe and air bled from the main duct and exhausted through movable nozzles near the wing tips. The model was found to generally fly smoothly and easily without automatic stabilization devic… more

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 0.034-Scale Model of the Production Version of the Chance Vought F7U-3 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 3103

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of a 0.034-scale model of the production version of the Chance Vought F7U-3 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The inverted and erect spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the combat loading with the model in the clean condition and the effect of extending slats was investigated. A brief investigation of pilot ejection was also performed."

Homogenous Reactor Project Quarterly Progress Report For Period Ending January 31, 1955

Description: The reactor equipment cell is expected to be completed by February 15. While filled with water, the tank was inspected for leaks, and the few leaks found will have been repaired by February 15. All orders for construction materials placed prior to this quarter have been received. New requisitions issued during the quarter total $16,000. Work orders were issued, and fabrication of all low-pressure-system components was begun in the ORNL shops. The thermal shield around the reactor vessel was spe… more

Incompressible Flutter Characteristics of Representative Aircraft Wings

Description: "This report gives the results of a detailed study of the flutter characteristics of four representative aircraft wings. This study was made using the electric-analog computer at the California Institute of Technology. During the course of this investigation eight important parameters of each wing were varied and, in addition, the effects of mass, inertia, pitching spring, and location of a concentrated mass were investigated for all four wings and at several sweepback angles" (p. 1385).

An Investigation of the Adaptation of a Transonic Slotted Tunnel to Supersonic Operation by Enclosing the Slots With Fairings

Description: Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation of the adaptation of a transonic slotted tunnel to supersonic operation by enclosing the slots with fairings. The adaptation allows the extension of peak Mach number of the tunnel to be made at a reasonable cost in both time and effort, provided simplicity and ease of installation are taken into consideration during the design of the cover fairings. The nozzle is found to be sensitive to phenomena that will cause thickening of the boundary lay… more

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of wing vertical location and geometric dihedral on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip of a wing-body configuration at Mach number 2.01. The configurations investigated included a high-wing, midwing, and a low-wing arrangement.

The Mechanical Properties of Beta-Quenched Uranium at Elevated Temperatures

Description: The creep strength and tensile properties-were determined in vacuum for beta-quenched, derby uranium. The stresses to produce a secondary creep rate of- 0.0001 per cent per hr at 100, 250, 400, and 500 deg C were 48,000, sile strengths were 114,500, 35,100, 11,100, and 8,500 psi at temperatares of 28, 300, 500, and 700 deg C, respectively. The creep and tensile strengths decrease quite rapidly with increasing temperature in the temperatare range 250 to 400 deg C.

Motor load study 190-C-process pump drive

Description: During the summer months of 1954, the spare 190-C process pump unit was required to be placed in service for extended periods of time due to the motor winding temperatures exceeding the manufacturers recommended maximum operating limits. With nine unit operation each pump was required to supply approximately 9800 gpm to maintain the established power level of the 105-C Reactor. An operating condition requiring all process pump units to be in service simultaneously is-not desirable. Such a condi… more

Nuclear safety in manufacturing operations

Description: Nuclear safety is recognized as being of prime importance in the conduct of manufacturing operations here at HAPO. Responsibility for this safety is shared by the Engineering and Manufacturing Departments, with the former defining the hazards and the required precautionary limits, and the latter translating these specifications into effective operational controls and practices. The Manufacturing Department has just completed a thorough review of its position with respect to nuclear hazards cont… more

A Numerical Integration Scheme for Problems Involving Contour Representations

Description: The definition of the Lebesgue integral is used to develop a numerical integration method in which the integral is evaluated directly from a contour plot of the function. It is useful in working from weather maps, potential surfaces, etc., but was particularly designed to assist in reducing blast diffraction space-time diagrams to simple, meaningful quantities.
