Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Static-Pressure Fluctuations in Duct of a Scale Inlet Model of a Supersonic Fighter-Bomber Airplane

Description: Report presenting a transonic investigation of the static-pressure fluctuations in the left duct of a scale inlet model of a supersonic fighter-bomber airplane in the transonic tunnel. Results regarding amplitude characteristics of pressure fluctuations, power-spectral analyses, and flow distortions at compressor face are provided.

Two-dimensional airfoil characteristics of four NACA 6A-series airfoils at transonic Mach numbers up to 1.25

Description: "A two-dimensional wind-tunnel investigation of the flow and force characteristics of four NACA 6A-series airfoils with thickness ratios of 4, 6, and 9 percent has been conducted in the Langley airfoil test apparatus at at transonic Mach numbers between 0.8 and 1.25. The Reynolds number range for these tests varied from 2.6 x 10(6) to 2.8 x 10(6). As was expected, the airfoils exhibited a smooth transition in force coefficients from a Mach number of 1.0 to the values obtained at the higher spee… more

Aerodynamic heating of a thin, unswept, untapered, multiweb, aluminum-alloy wing at Mach numbers up to 2.67 as determined from a free-flight investigation of a rocket-propelled model

Description: From Introduction: "The heat-transfer data calculated from measured temperatures are compared with values calculated by the theory of Van Driest for a flat plate with laminar and turbulent boundary layers. In addition, the heat-transfer data from the flight tests are compared with data obtained from the Langley Structures Research Division of ground tests of an identical wing at a Mach number approximately equal to 1.99 in the pre-flight jet of the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Station a… more

A Brief Analog Investigation of Inertia Coupling in Rolling Maneuvers of an Airplane Configuration Using a Variable-Incidence Wing as the Longitudinal Control

Description: "An analog computer study was made in order to investigate the inertia coupling in rolling maneuvers of an airplane configuration utilizing a variable-incidence wing for longitudinal control. A five-degree-of-freedom system of equations was used, and only one set of flight conditions was included in this study. The results, when compared to those for a conventional tail-control airplane, indicated significant advantages for the variable-incidence-wing type of control in reducing undesired dynam… more

Drop burning rates of hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon fuels

Description: An investigation of the burning rates of single drops of 15 hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon fuels in quiescent air at room temperature and pressure. The drop burning rates were found to be proportional to drop diameter. The experimentally determined drop burning rates were in orderly agreement with those predicted by theoretical analysis, but the absolute values differed significantly.

Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Static-Pressure Fluctuations in Duct of a Scale Inlet Model of a Supersonic Fighter-Bomber Airplane

Description: Report presenting a transonic investigation of the static-pressure fluctuations in the left duct of a scale inlet model of a supersonic fighter-bomber airplane. The amplitude and frequency of pressure fluctuations were measured using an electrical pressure gage mounted on the diffuser wall at several Mach numbers and mass-flow ratios. Results regarding amplitude characteristics of pressure fluctuations, power-spectral analyses, and flow distortions at compressor face are provided.

A Fuselage Addition to Delay Drag-Rise Mach Number of Subsonic Airplanes at Lifting Conditions

Description: "The addition of fuselage volume, concentrated on top of the forward portion of the fuselage, for the purpose of delaying the drag-rise Mach number of subsonic airplanes at lifting conditions is investigated. The additions have been designed on the basis of the area rule and other important considerations to provide greater practicability of application compared with shapings previously investigated. The addition delayed the drag-rise Mach number by an increment of approximately 0.03 for a conf… more
