Flight and Preflight Tests of a Ram Jet Burning Magnesium Slurry Fuel and Utilizing a Solid-Propellant Gas Generator for Fuel Expulsion

Description: Data obtained from the first flight test of a ram jet utilizing a magnesium slurry fuel are presented. The ram jet accelerated from a Mach number of 1.75 to a Mach number of 3.48 in 15.5 seconds. During this period a maximum values of air specific impulse and gross thrust coefficient were calculated to be 151 seconds and 0.658, respectively. The rocket gas generator used as a fuel-pumping system operated successfully.

Flight Tests of a Delta-Wing Vertically Rising Airplane Model Powered by a Ducted Fan

Description: Report presenting the results of an investigation to determine the dynamic stability and control characteristics of a delta-wing vertically rising airplane model powered by a ducted fan. The model had flap-type control surfaces on the wings and vertical tail as well as movable eyelids at the rear of the tail pipe and air bled from the main duct and exhausted through movable nozzles near the wing tips. The model was found to generally fly smoothly and easily without automatic stabilization devic… more

Experimental Static Aerodynamic Forces and Moments at Low Speed on a Canard Missle During Simulated Launching From the Midsemispan and Wing-Tip Locations of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing-Fuselage Combination

Description: Report presenting an investigation at low speed to determine the static aerodynamic forces and moments on a canard missile model during launching from the midsemispan and wing-tip locations of a wing-fuselage combination with a 45 degree sweptback wing. When the missile was mounted under the wing at the midsemispan location, changes in chordwise position produced large changes in missile forces and moments.
