Attenuation properties of Hanford pile shield materials

Description: This report discusses an extended program of measurements has been carried out at Hanford to determine the attenuation characteristics of various concretes which might be used as inexpensive yet efficient shields for large, stationary, production piles. The original Hanford piles have biological

Wind-Tunnel Investigation at Low Speed of Sideslipping, Rolling, Yawing, and Pitching Characteristics for a Model of a 45 Degree Swept-Wing Fighter-Type Airplane

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the stability tunnel at low speed to determine the rolling characteristics at combined angles of attack and sideslip for a model of a fighter-type airplane with a 45 degree sweptback wing. Testing was performed with the original vertical tail and a vertical tail with a 27 percent larger exposed area. Results regarding the static longitudinal stability, directional stability, and effect of the different tails are presented.

Longitudinal Aerodynamic Characteristics at Transonic Speeds of a Complete Model With an Unswept Wing and a Sweptback Horizontal Tail at Two Vertical Locations

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the static longitudinal stability contribution of a horizontal tail at two vertical locations behind a 4-percent-thick unswept-wing-fuselage combination at transonic speeds. The model used in tests is comprised of an unswept wing located in the midwing position on a body of revolution and a sweptback horizontal tail mounted on a vertical tail.

Hydrodynamic Pressure Distribution Obtained With a Streamline Body Equipped With Chine Strips

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the nature of the pressure distribution and the order of magnitude of the pressures on a streamline body moving on a water surface. The body of revolution was equipped with chine strips and had a fineness ratio of 9. The results from the investigation indicate that there is a characteristic pattern of hydrodynamic pressure distribution for streamline bodies equipped with chine strips and moving on a water surface.
