Transonic Flight Tests to Determine Zero-Lift Drag and Pressure Recovery of Nacelles Located at the Wing Tips on a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing and Body Combination

Description: Report presenting the zero-lift drag of a sweptback wing and body combination with nacelles with NACA 1-50-250 nose inlets locate in the wing tips as determined by flight tests of rocket-powered models at transonic speeds. Results regarding the pressure recovery and the effect of the nacelles on it are also provided.

Tests at Mach Number 1.62 of a Series of Missile Configurations Having Tandem Cruciform Lifting Surfaces

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation at a Mach number of 1.62 in the 9-inch supersonic tunnel of a series of missile configurations with tandem lifting surfaces of low aspect ratio and of nearly equal span. Some of the variables investigated were interdigitation angle, wing and tail plan form, and longitudinal location of wing with respect to tail. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment data are presented, together with center-of-pressure locations and tail-lift efficiency factors.

Investigation at Mach number 1.91 of spreading characteristics of jet expanding from choked nozzles

Description: It is demonstrated that the temperature profiles of jets expanding into a supersonic stream are considerably smaller than the temperature profiles of jets expanding into quiescent air. The effect on the wake of varying afterbody geometry is shown to be small. The gross spreading characteristics of jets expanding from convergent and convergent-divergent nozzles in the base of a body of revolution with various boattail configurations at a Mach number of 1.91 are presented.

SURVEY METHODS FOR NEUTRON FIELDS

Description: To one whose responsibility it is to make evaluations of the degree of hazard existing in the radiation field of a nuclear accelerator or a nuclear reactor, the valid estimate of the contribution of neutrons to such a field is of considerable importance. The degree of difficulty of such a measurement depends strongly upon the information desired - whether (1) simply the presence of 'slow' and 'fast' neutrons in significant numbers is in question, or (2) a measure of flux densities within known … more
