Wind-Tunnel Tests of the Static Longitudinal Characteristics at Low Speed of a Swept-Wing Airplane With Blowing Flaps and Leading-Edge Slats

Description: Memorandum presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of a high-wing airplane with an aspect ratio 6.75 wing with approximately 36 degrees of sweepback in order to determine the lift effectiveness obtainable with trailing-edge blowing flaps in combination with leading-edge slats. Close to theoretical flap effectiveness was obtained with blowing flaps deflected 45, 55, and 65 degrees at low angles of attack. Results regarding the wind tunnel, take-off performance, landing performance, and comparison… more

Performance evaluation of reduced-chord rotor blading as applied to J73 two-stage turbine 5: effect of inlet pressure on over-all performance at design speed and inlet temperature of 700 degrees R

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a reduced-chord multistage turbine at design speed and various turbine-inlet pressures from 12 to 40 inches of mercury absolute. At each inlet pressure, the turbine was operated over a range of overall turbine total-pressure ratios; turbine-inlet temperature was maintained at 700 degrees R. The results indicated that no appreciable effect on turbine overall performance was observed over the range of turbine-inlet total pressures investigated.

Performance evaluation of reduced-chord rotor blading as applied to J73 two-stage turbine 4: over-all performance of first-stage turbine with reduced-chord rotor blades at inlet conditions of 35 inches of mercury absolute and 700 R

Description: Report presenting a study of the first stage performance characteristics of the two-stage turbine from the J73 turbojet engine. The reduced-chord first-stage turbine operated at a peak brake internal efficiency of over 91 percent at a stage overall pressure ratio of 1.4 and at 90 percent of the design equivalent speed. The unit exhibited high efficiency over a wide range of operating variables.

Studies on Large Area Sub-Fabric Burns

Description: The detonation of shot one at Bikini Atoll on March 1, 1954, produced a fallout of radioactive ash upon Rongelap Atoll, Marshall Islands. The distribution of the radioactive ash on the islands and in the plants and animals of the area has been studied and evaluated. During the first expedition to Rongelap Atoll on March 26, 1954, biological samples were collected and measurements made of the radiation contamination. On three additional expeditions extensive collections of material were made for… more

Wind-tunnel tests of the static longitudinal characteristics at low speed of a swept-wing airplane with blowing flaps and leading-edge slats

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of a high-wing airplane with an aspect ratio 6.75 wing with approximately 36 degrees of sweepback to determine the lift effectiveness obtainable with trailing-edge blowing flaps in combination with leading-edge slats. Flap effectiveness and stability were maintained to high angles of attack by control of leading-edge flow separation with slats. An analysis of the take-off performance, landing performance, and comparisons with flight data are provide… more

Transonic Flutter Investigation of a Cantilevered, Aspect-Ratio-4, 45 Degree Sweptback, Untapered Wing With Three Different Pylon-Mounted External Store Configurations

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the transonic flutter characteristics of a cantilevered, aspect-ratio-4, 45 degree sweptback, untapered wing with three different pylon-mounted external-store configurations. An additional study was created during the investigation to find a store configuration with a substantially higher flutter speed than what was obtained with the other two stores. Results regarding general comments, the investigation of store types A and B, node-line survey, and the inv… more
