Wind-Tunnel Investigation at Low Speed of the Effects of Symmetrical Deflection of Half-Delta Tip Controls on the Damping in Roll and Yawing Moment Due to Rolling of a Triangular-Wing Model

Description: Report presenting a low-speed investigation in the stability tunnel to determine the effects of symmetrical deflection of half-delta tip controls on the damping in roll and yawing moment due to rolling of a model with triangular wings. Triangular wings have numerous aerodynamic advantages, but it is difficult to obtain adequate longitudinal and lateral control with acceptable control forces when using them. Results regarding the lift characteristics and rolling characteristics are provided.

Radiologic Hazards Predicted for a Given Height Burst of an Atomic Bomb

Description: Abstract: An appraisal is made of the radiologic hazard created by a 1000-ft. high air burst of a nominal sized nuclear bomb. Three sets of graphs are included which show the relations between dose rate (milliroentgens per hour), time post-shot, and distance from Ground Zero for a soil having given constituents. Estimates are given for fall-out activity (gamma) for distances up to about 200 miles from Ground Zero immediately after fall-out. It is pointed out that the radiologic hazard due to… more
