Free-flight investigation at transonic speeds of drag coefficients of a boattail body of revolution with a simulated turbojet exhaust issuing at the base from conical short-length ejectors

Description: Report presenting tests of four 7.5 degree boattail bodies of revolution with secondary air scoops in free flight to find the change in drag coefficient when a simulated turbojet exhaust issued from conical short-length ejectors. Results indicated that the jet-on total drag coefficients were lower throughout the test Mach number range than corresponding jet-off values of the forebody drag coefficient. Results regarding drag and ejector-shroud characteristics are provided.

Limited Investigation of Effects of Differential Horizontal-Tail Deflection on Lateral Control Characteristics of Two Swept-Wing Airplane Models at Mach Numbers From 1.4 to 2.0

Description: Memorandum presenting a limited investigation in the supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effectiveness of differential horizontal-tail deflection for producing lateral control for two swept-wing airplane models in the Mach number range from 1.4 to 2.0. The tests were limited to small tail deflections but included combined angles of attack and sideslip up to about 20 degrees. The tests showed the rolling-moment effectiveness to be essentially constant with sideslip angle but to decrease … more

Exploratory Materials and Missile-Nose-Shape Tests in a 4,000 Degrees F Supersonic Air Jet

Description: Report presenting some exploratory materials and nose-shape tests in a small supersonic air jet with a stagnation temperature of approximately 4000 degrees Fahrenheit. Materials considered included graphite, copper, carbon steel, and stainless steel, and the nose shapes included 90 degree total-angle cones, hemispherical-face cylinders, and flat-face cylinders. The aerodynamic heat transfer to flat-face cylinders is appreciably less than to hemispherical-face cylinders.

Chemical Properties of Sodium Triethylhydroborate and Sodium Triisopropoxyhydroborate

Description: Technical report abstract: Sodium hydride and triethylborane react to form sodium triethylhydroborate, NaBH(C2H5)3. This compound, a liquid at rooom temperature, was found to be soluble in hexane and mineral oil. A study was made of the thermal decomposition of sodium triethylhydroborate and its behavior toward boron trifluoride, boron trichloride, methyl borate, carbon dioxide, silane, and ethylene. Sodium triisopropoxyhydroborate, NaBH(OC3H7)3, was prepared and also found to be soluble in h… more
