Rocket-Model Investigation of the Rolling Effectiveness of a Fighter-Type Wing-Control Configuration at Mach Numbers From

Description: "An investigation of the rolling effectiveness of spoiler and aileron aerodynamic controls on a fighter-type airplane has been conducted at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.5 by the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Division by utilizing rocket-propelled test vehicles. No effects of mutual interference between the midspan spoiler and the outboard aileron were detectable. Above the speed of sound, the ailerons were relatively ineffective as compared with the spoiler because of wing twisting" (p. 1).

A Photographic Study of Freezing of Water Droplets Falling Freely in Air

Description: From Summary: "A photographic technique for investigating water droplets of diameter less than 200 microns falling freely in air at temperatures between 0 C and -50 C has been devised and used to determine: (1) The shape of frozen droplets, (2) The occurrence of collisions of partly frozen or of frozen and liquid droplets, and (3) The statistics on the freezing temperatures of individual free-falling droplets."

Investigation of Stresses Due to Thermal Gradients in Typical Aircraft Structures

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of a series of five 75S-T6 aluminum-alloy elementary skin and spar-cap combinations with skin varying from 0.051 to 0.500 inch in thickness to determine the temperature and stress gradients resulting from the application of heat to the surface. The data are presented in the form of tables of the measured temperatures and stresses calculated from the measured strains.

A study of the flow over a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination at transonic Mach numbers

Description: Report presenting pressure distributions, tuft patterns, and schileren surveys of a sweptback wing-fuselage combination in the 8-foot transonic tunnel at a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. The wing had 45 degrees of sweepback, an aspect ratio of 4.0, a taper ratio of 0.6, and an NACA 65A006 airfoil section. Results regarding an angle of attack of 0 degrees, 4 degrees, 6 degrees, 8 degrees, 12 degrees, and 20 degrees are provided.
