Properties of low-aspect-ratio pointed wings at speeds below and above the speed of sound

Description: "Low-aspect-ratio wings having pointed plan forms are treated on the assumption that the flow potentials in planes at right angles to the long axis of the airfoils are similar to the corresponding two-dimensional potentials. For the limiting case of small angles of attack and low aspect ratios the theory brings out the following significant properties: (1) The lift of a slender, pointed airfoil moving in the direction of its long axis depends on the increase in width of the sections in a downst… more

Comparison of wind-tunnel and flight measurements of stability and control characteristics of a Douglas A-26 airplane

Description: From Summary: "Stability and control characteristics determined from tests in the Langley 19-foot pressure tunnel of a 0.2375-scale model of the Douglas XA-26 airplane are compared with those measured in flight tests of a Douglas A-26 airplane. Agreement regarding static longitudinal stability as indicated by the elevator-fixed neutral points and by the variation of elevator deflection in both straight and turning flight was found to be good except at speeds approaching the stall. At these low … more

Xenon and iodine concentrations in the environs of the T and B Plant

Description: A report of seven stack emissions of I-131 at the T and B plants, detailing the relationship between cooling times and dilution factors for the safe emission of the isotope. From the stack sampling, personal exposure limits for an eight and nine hour day are calculated. The effect of atmospheric conditions appears to be negligible, although periods of atmospheric stagnation may have an effect on the I-131 concentration. Environmental effects are minimized by increasing the cooling times of the … more
