Large-scale low-speed wind-tunnel tests of a model having a 60 degree delta horizontal canard control surface and wing to obtain static-longitudinal-stability and canard surface hinge-moment data

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of a model equipped with a 60 degree delta wing and a 60 degree delta horizontal all-movable canard control surface to determine the stability, control, and canard-surface hinge-moment characteristics at low speeds and at a Reynolds number of 9 x 10(exp 6). Two longitudinal positions of the canard surface were tested. Results regarding lift and pitching moment, drag, and hinge moment are provided.

Flight Investigation to Determine Lift and Drag Characteristics of a Canard Ram-Jet Missile Configuration in the Mach Number Range of 0.8 to 2.0

Description: Report presenting an investigation on a canard ramjet missile configuration to determine its lift and drag characteristics at low values of lift. Two rocket-boosted models that differed only in the size and deflection of the canard were used. Information about the trim lift characteristics, drag, and stability is provided.

Review of Redox Plant Head-End treatment

Description: Oxidation of the dissolver solution is required before processing through the Redox Plant. Two different Head-End treatment procedure have been used in the plant since start-up, the original one employing sodium dischrocate as the oxidant and the current one (initiated in May of 1953) employing potassium permanganate. In addition to oxidizing the plutonium, the permanganate Head-End procedure removes substantial quantities of radio-ruthenium (the fission product most difficult to remove by solv… more
