Investigation of an All-Movable Control Surface at a Mach Number of 6.86 for Possible Flutter

Description: Memorandum presenting results of tests for possible flutter of a dynamically and elastically scaled model of a proposed all-movable horizontal tail surface for the North American X-15 airplane. Tests at Mach number 6.86 were made on the scaled model and on several other configurations with lower stiffnesses.

A Comparison of Flight-Measured Carrier- Approach Speeds With Values Predicted by Several Different Criteria for 41 Fighter-Type Airplane Configurations

Description: Memorandum presenting lift and drag characteristics that have been determined in flight in the landing-approach configuration on 41 jet-propelled fighter-type airplane arrangements, including various wing boundary-layer-control installations. Minimum comfortable approach speeds for carrier-type landings were evaluated for these airplanes by four test pilots. Results regarding the presentation of data, methods for the prediction of minimum comfortable approach speed, reasons for limiting approac… more

Tests of Aerodynamically Heated Multiweb Wing Structures in a Free Jet at Mach Number 2: Four Aluminum-Alloy Models of 20-Inch Chord and Span With 0.064-Inch-Thick Skin, 0.025-Inch-Thick Ribs and Webs, and Zero, One, Two, or Three Chordwise Ribs

Description: Report presenting testing of four multiweb wing models were tested at Mach number 2 in a free jet to investigate structural effects of aerodynamic heating and loading. All of the models were the same except for the number of chordwise internal stiffening ribs; each had zero, one, two, or three. Results regarding laboratory vibration tests, jet tests, model behavior, temperatures, stresses, and discussion of failure are provided.
