Vibratory-Stress Investigation of Six- and Eight-Blade-Dual-Rotating Propellers Operating at Zero Advance

Description: Report presenting the results of an investigation of the vibratory stresses of a dual-rotating propeller with both six-blade and eight-blade configurations using the NACA 6,000-horsepower propeller dynamometer. Attention was focused on the measurement of vibratory stresses caused by mutual blade interference of the front- and rear-propeller components. A range of blade angles and rotational speeds were used in testing.

Effects of increasing Reynolds number from 2 x 10(exp 6) to 6 x 10(exp 6) on the aerodynamic characteristics at transonic speeds of a 45 degree swept wing with 6 degree leading-edge droop

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 16-foot and 8-foot transonic tunnel to determine the effects of Reynolds number and on a swept wing with camber. The wing had 45 degrees sweepback of the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 4, a taper ratio of 0.6, and NACA 65A006 airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry. Results regarding the effect of Reynolds number on the aerodynamic characteristics and effects of roughness strips are provided.

Flight Experience With Two High-Speed Airplanes Having Violent Lateral-Longitudinal Coupling in Aileron Rolls

Description: "During flight tests of two high-speed airplane configurations, violent cross-coupled lateral and longitudinal motions were encountered following abrupt rudder-fixed aileron rolls. The speeds involved ranged from a Mach number of 0.7 to 1.05. The motions were characterized by extreme variations in angles of attack and sideslip which resulted in load factors as large as 6.7g (negative) and 7g (positive) normal acceleration and 2g transverse acceleration" (p. 1).
