Experimental Investigation of Internal Flow Characteristics of Forward Underslung Fuselage Scoops With Unswept Entrances at Mach Numbers of 1.41 to 1.96

Description: Report presenting an investigation of two versions of a type of forward underslung scoop mounted on a pointed fuselage in the supersonic blowdown tunnel. The scoop entrances were in the shape of a 60 degree sector of an annulus, but the sides of one scoop were sweptback, while the others were unswept. Results regarding the shadowgraphs and surface-pressure distributions and total-pressure recovery are provided.

Transonic Flight Tests to Compare the Zero-Lift Drags of 45 Degree Sweptback Wings of Aspect Ratio 3.55 and 6.0 With and Without Nacelles at the Wing Tips

Description: Report presenting tests of rocket-propelled models at transonic speeds to compare the zero-lift drags of 45 degree sweptback wings with and without solid nacelles at the wing tips. The wing drag coefficient was lowered at high subsonic and supersonic speeds when the aspect ratio was reduced from 6.0 to 3.55. Results regarding the favorability of the wing-tip nacelles and the force-break Mach number of the varying configurations are also provided.

The effects of suction through porous leading-edge surfaces on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 47.5 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination at a Reynolds number of 4.4 x 10(exp 6)

Description: A study investigated the effects of suction through porous leading-edge surfaces on the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a 47.5 degree sweptback wing-fuselage configuration in the full-scale tunnel. The wing section normal to the quarter-chord line was NACA 64(sub 1)A112, the aspect ratio was 3.4, and the taper ratio was 0.51. Results regarding the basic wing characteristics and effect of area suction on the longitudinal characteristics are provided.

Displacement Effect of a Three-Dimensional Boundary Layer

Description: "A method is described for determining the "displacement surface" of known three-dimensional compressible boundary-layer flow in terms of the mass-flow defects associated with the profiles of the two velocity components parallel to the surface. The result is a generalization of the plane flow concept of displacement thickness introduced in order to describe how a thin boundary layer distorts the outer nonviscous flow. Numerical values are found for the known three-dimensional boundary-layer flo… more
