AN ORACLE CODE FOR CALCULATION OF FERMI AGES BY NUMERICAL INTEGRATION

Description: An oracle code was prepared for the calculation of Fermi ages by numerical integration. The code is designed to compute values of The effects of and fast and slow diffusion constants for two-group calculations from cross section data. The values of The effects of and the diffusion constants may be obtained for mixtures of any or all of sixteen elements. While the present tapes do not contain cross sections for sixteen different elements, cross sections may be changed in a simple and rapid manne… more

IGNITION OF THORIUM METAL

Description: The metal ignited in the course of preparing metal chips to be used as feed stock in a nonconsumable electrode arc melting furance. Preparatory to accumulating stock for the arc melting experiment, the Th slivers were pickled to remove surface oxide and stored in a glass storage vessel until needed. A time lapse of three weeks occurred before removal from the storage vessel. A technician began cutting the samples irto thinner segments with a pair of hand shears when there was a flash of light a… more

A Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Store and Horizontal-Tail Loads and Some Effects of Fuselage-Afterbody Modifications on a Swept-Wing Fighter Airplane

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a swept-wing fighter airplane in the transonic tunnel to determine store and pylon loads and the effect of store installation of drag and stability, horizontal-tail loads at sideslip angles of 0 degrees and 5 degrees, and the extent of drag-rise reductions possible by enlarging the fuselage afterbody. Results regarding store and pylon installation, horizontal-tail characteristics, and effects of "area-rule" modifications are provided.

A Flight Investigation of the Handling Characteristics of a Fighter Airplane Controlled Through an Attitude Type of Automatic Pilot

Description: Report discussing a flight investigation to obtain experimental information on the handling qualities of a fighter airplane that a human controlled by supplying signals to an attitude type of automatic pilot. The pilots were found to prefer the control-force characteristics provided by a damper rather than a spring feel system. Information about characteristics in pitch, characteristics in roll, dynamic lateral stability, and rough-air flying, tracking, and landing characteristics is provided.

Low-Speed Longitudinal Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing With Double Slotted Flaps

Description: Memorandum presenting a low-speed investigation to determine the effect of double-slotted flaps on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback wing. The flap had a span of 0.35 wing semispan with the inboard end at 0.16 semispan. Results regarding lift characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, and drag characteristics are provided.

Static Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Series of 90-Millimeter Artillery Shells at Mach Numbers of 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, and 1.2

Description: Wind-tunnel tests have been made to determine the static longitudinal stability of several models of a short-range artillery shell at Mach numbers of 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, and 1.2. The results of the tests indicated that the best of the spool-shaped shells was statically stable in pitch at all test Mach numbers for an angle-of-attack range up to about 10 degrees. The best of the finned shells was stable to a maximum angle of attack of about 6 degrees.

Lateral Stability Characteristics Between Mach Numbers of 0.80 and 1.57 and Simulation of Coupled Motion at Mach Number of 1.30 of a Rocket-Propelled Model of an Airplane Configuration Having Thin Highly Tapered 45 Degree Sweptback Surfaces

Description: Report presenting testing of a model of an airplane configuration with thin, highly tapered, 45 degree sweptback surfaces at a range of Mach numbers to obtain the lateral stability characteristics of the configuration. Results regarding the time history, trim characteristics, lateral-force derivative, vector plots, and downwash and sidewash are provided. At Mach number 1.3, the model experienced a violent combined lateral-longitudinal motion and large angles of sideslip and attack with large ro… more
