Low-speed investigation of the effects of wing leading-edge modifications and several outboard fin arrangements on the static stability characteristics of a large-scale triangular wing

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a large-scale triangular wing with 60 degrees of leading-edge sweep and with 10-percent-thick circular-arc airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry was made in the full-scale tunnel to determine the effects of wing leading-edge modifications and several outboard fin arrangements on the low-speed static stability characteristics. Results regarding static longitudinal stability characteristics and static lateral stability characteristics are provide… more

Small-scale transonic investigation of the effects of twist and camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 60 degrees 42' sweptback wing of aspect ratio 1.94

Description: Report presenting a small-scale investigation of two semispan wings with the same plan form in the high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel over a range of Mach numbers to determine the effects of twist and camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 60 degrees 42' sweptback wing of aspect ratio 1.94. Lift, drag, pitching moment, and root bending moment were obtained for the two wings investigated.

An Investigation of Propeller Vibrations Excited by Wing Wakes

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the principal variables affecting the excitation of a propeller for vibration at a frequency of twice propeller speed using a conventional propeller with solid aluminum-alloy blades operating in the wake of a wing. The drag of the wing and spacing between the flap trailing edge and propeller plane were all adjustable. Results regarding wing drag data, vibratory stresses, damping, and theoretical considerations of wake excited blade stresses are provided.

Hydrodynamic Directional Behavior of a Swept Planing-Tail Hull

Description: "A qualitative investigation of the low-speed directional behavior of a swept planing-tail hull was made in the Langley tank no. 2 in still water and still air with the use of a free self-propelled model. The configuration was directionally unstable over a range of low speed. It was, however, directionally controllable at all speeds by use of the rudder and elevator. Several modifications that were investigated did not improve the controllability" (p. 1).

Aerodynamic characteristics at supersonic speeds of a series of wing-body combinations having cambered wings with an aspect ratio of 3.5 and a taper ratio of 0.2: Effects of sweep angle and thickness ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at Mach number 1.60 to determine the effects of sweep and thickness on the longitudinal characteristics of a series of wing-body combinations with cambered wings with an aspect ratio of 3.5 and taper ratio of 0.2. The results show the effects of sweep, thickness, and the horizontal canard surface on the lift, drag, and pitching-moment coefficients and lift-drag ratios. The lift-curve slope, aerodynamic-center loca… more

RDA DC-6 -- Design criteria for reactor water plant at Coyote Rapids site. Instruction letter number 1

Description: The design will be based on one reactor with a potential capacity of 1,300 megawatts. For the time being this reactor will be designated ``X``. The water plant will be designed to supply 100,000 gpm initially. The design shall provide, however, for the ultimate capacity of 140,000 gpm; i.e., underground process piping, space in river pump house, and other items which would be difficult to enlarge after initial construction, will be sized for the ultimate capacity and provision shall be made for… more

Weighting Factors for Radically Flattened Piles

Description: The following report calculates pile reactivity changes that result from different pile loadings where it is desirable to have available values of (flux)2 d(volume) for various flat zone radii. This information was found for a cylindrical pile having circular flat zones and an effective radius of 598 cm., by integrating over a cross sectional volume of one cm. thickness.
