Investigation of a 0.6 Hub-Tip Radius-Ratio Transonic Turbine Designed for Secondary-Flow Study 3 - Experimental Performance With Two Stator Configurations Designed to Eliminate Blade Wakes and Secondary-Flow Effects and Conclusions From Entire Stator Investigation

Description: Memorandum presenting two turbine stator configurations designed to investigate the effect on turbine performance of either reducing or eliminating stator-blade wakes, secondary-flow loss accumulations, and circumferential variations in total pressure at the stator exits. Results regarding stator surveys, overall performance with the semivaneless stator, overall performance with the standard stator with spacer, rotor-exit surveys, and rotor-blade momentum loss are provided.

Investigation of Ejection Releases of an MB-1 Rocket From a 0.04956-Scaled Model of the Convair F-106A Airplane at Several Mach Numbers and Simulated Altitudes

Description: "As a continuation of an investigation of the ejection release characteristics of an internally carried MB-1 rocket in the Convair F-106A airplane, fin modifications at additional Mach numbers and simulated altitudes have been studied in the 27- by 27-inch preflight jet of the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Station at Wallops Island, Va. The MB-1 rocket was ejected with fins open, fins closed, fins closed with a shroud around the fins, and fins folded with a "boattail" placed in between th… more

Total-Pressure Distortion and Recovery of Supersonic Nose Inlet With Conical Centerbody in Subsonic Icing Conditions

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of ice formation on a full-scale unheated supersonic nose inlet in the icing tunnel to determine its effect on compressor-face total-pressure distortion and recovery. Inlet angle of attack was varied from 0 to 12 degrees, free-stream Mach number from 0.17 to 0.28, and compressor-face Mach number from 0.10 to 0.47. The addition of ice to the inlet components was found to increase total-pressure-distortion levels and decreased recovery values compared with c… more

A Semiempirical Correlation of Afterburner Combustion Efficiency and Lean-Blowout Fuel-Air-Ratio Data with Several Afterburner-Inlet Variables and Afterburner Lengths

Description: Memorandum presenting a semiempirical correlation relating combustion efficiency with afterburner-inlet variables and length for a full-scale high-performance cylindrical turbojet afterburner using JP-4 fuel. The combustion efficiency in this correlation is expressed in terms of afterburner-inlet total temperature, total pressure, velocity, afterburner fuel-air ratio, and afterburner combustion-chamber length.

Flight Investigation of Pentaborane Fuel in Rocket Boosted 9.75-Inch-Diameter Ramjet Engine With Convergent-Divergent Exhaust Nozzle

Description: Memorandum presenting a flight test of a pentaborane-fueled air-launched ramjet engine with convergent-divergent exhaust nozzle. The engine was boosted to a Mach number of about 2.00 by a small internally housed rocket; the ramjet then accelerated to a maximum free-stream Mach number of 3.02 at an altitude of 29,500 feet.

Aerodynamic Performance of Several Techniques for Spike-Position Control of a Blunt-Lip Nose Inlet Having Internal Contraction; Mach Numbers of 0.63 and 1.5 to 2.0

Description: Memorandum presenting a study to determine locations of pressure sensors for controlling the spike position of a blunt-lip, axisymmetric inlet with internal contraction. The inlet performance was determined at Mach numbers of 0.63 and 1.5 to 2.0 for airflow schedules corresponding to those of a given turbojet engine over a wide range of ambient temperatures. The use of the ratio of a throat static pressure to either a local total or the spike-tip total pressure provided a signal that could set … more

Description: Report presenting two turbine stator configurations designed to investigate the effect on turbine performance of either reducing or eliminating stator-blade wakes, secondary-flow loss accumulations, and circumferential variations in total pressure at stator exits. Rotor performance with the standard stator with spacer was better than what was obtained with the standard configuration.

Investigation of Ejection Releases of an MB-1 Rocket From a 0.04956-Scaled Model of the Convair F-106A Airplane at Several Mach Numbers and Simulated Attitudes : Coord. No. AF-AM-57

Description: Memorandum presenting a study of fin modifications as a continuation of an investigation of the ejection release characteristics of an internally carried MB-1 rocket in the Convair F-106A airplane. The rocket was ejected with fins open, fins closed, fins closed with a shroud between the fins, and fins folded with a "boattail" placed in between the fins. Ejections at three different Mach numbers, and a comparison of the results at supersonic and subsonic Mach numbers are provided.
