Free-flight tests of three 1/9-scale models of the wing-ram-jet configuration of the Grumman XSSM-N-6A (Rigel) missile to investigate the possibility of flutter: TED No. NACA DE 223

Description: Report presenting cold-flow free-flight tests at zero lift to investigate the possibility of flutter of simulated wing-ram-jet-nacelle configurations which were 1/9-scale models of the wing and ramjet nacelles of the Grumman XSSM-N-6a missile. Testing was performed on three different configurations. Results regarding Mach number, velocity, aerodynamic density, and flutter are provided.

Lift, drag, and pitching moment of low-aspect-ratio wings at subsonic and supersonic speeds

Description: Results are presented, in graphical and tabular form, from a wind tunnel investigation of the lift, drag, and pitching moment characteristics of thin, low-aspect-ratio wings in combination with a body at Mach numbers from 0.25 to as high as 1.9. The following are analyzed and compared with existing theoretical results: 1. Effects of aspect ratio on 3-percent-thick triangular wings; 2. Effects of plan form on 3-percent-thick triangular, sweptback, and unswept wings of aspect ratios 2 and 3; 3. E… more

Effects of Metal Purity and Heat Treatment on the Corrosion of Uranium in Boiling Water

Description: Corrosion rates of present reactor grade uranium were measured in boiling distilled water and were found to have higher values almost by a factor of two then previously reported corrosion rates of uranium. Mallinckrodt biscuit metal showed corrosion rates in the same medium somewhat lower than reactor grade uranium, and high purity metal prepared at Argonne National Laboratory corroded considerably less rapidly than the biscuit metal.
