Turbine Failure Investigation of J65-W-4 Turbojet Engine in an Altitude Test Chamber

Description: Memorandum presenting an altitude investigation to determine the basic mechanism by which J65-W-4 turbine rotor-blade failures were occurring in service. The engine was installed in an altitude test chamber and a series of controlled engine throttle bursts, with and without inlet-air distortion, over a range of altitudes, flight Mach numbers, and inlet-air temperatures. An examination of the data obtained during the investigation indicated that the danger of turbine failure could be eliminated … more

Deep Underground Test Shots

Description: From abstract: "The purpose of this note is to consider the feasibility of conducting kiloton-weapons tests in underground holes sufficiently deep so that the explosion will be effectively contained. Such a shot would have the advantage that it could be detonated independently of weather conditions, and thus would allow greater freedom in the test program."

Metallographic Examination of Cambridge Nos. 1 and 2 Metallography Report No. 267

Description: The radiators designated Cambridge #1 and #2 were visually examined and modified before operation. The initial examination revealed poor quality braze joints at the top and bottom plates of Cambridge #1. However, the same plates of Cambridge #2 were adequately brazed. The copper core of the fins was exposed in many of the tube-to-fin joints on both radiators, indicating that the braze material had not covered the fin collars. Samples were removed from each radiator and examined for evidence of … more

Evaporation of JP-5 fuel sprays in air streams

Description: Report presenting a continuous sampling-probe technique used to determine the percentage of JP-5 fuel spray evaporated under conditions common in ramjet engines. Fuel was injected contraststream from a multiple-orifice injector and sampling data were obtained at several distances downstream of the injector. An expression is generated for a description of this phenomenon.

Investigation of Aerodynamic Characteristics in Pitch and Sideslip of a 45 Degree Sweptback-Wing Airplane Model With Various Vertical Locations of Wing and Horizontal Tail: Static Longitudinal Stability and Control, M = 2.01

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of various vertical locations of the wing and horizontal tail on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and of a supersonic airplane configuration at Mach number 2.01. The model was equipped with a wing and horizontal tail, each having a 45 degree sweep and an aspect ratio of 4. The configurations investigated included a high-wing, a mid-wing, and a low-wing arrangement, each with fo… more

Investigation of the Laminar Aerodynamic Heat-Transfer Characteristics of a Hemisphere-Cylinder in the Langley 11-inch Hypersonic Tunnel at a Mach Number of 6.8

Description: "A program to investigate the aerodynamic heat transfer of a nonisothermal hemisphere-cylinder has been conducted in the Langley 11-inch hypersonic tunnel at a Mach number of 6.8 and a Reynolds number from approximately 0.14 x 10(6) to 1.06 x 10(6) based on diameter and free-stream conditions. The experimental heat-transfer coefficients were slightly less over the whole body than those predicted by the theory of Stine and Wanlass (NACA technical note 3344) for an isothermal surface. For station… more
