Drag Measurements at Low Lift of a Four-Nacelle Airplane Configuration Having a Longitudinal Distribution of Cross-Sectional Area Conductive to Low Transonic Drag Rise

Description: Memorandum presenting a procedure based on the transonic area rule, which has been used to design a four-nacelle delta-wing airplane configuration. A flight test of a model of the configuration showed a zero-lift transonic drag rise of 0.010 which, when compared with estimates, indicated the absence of adverse interference effects.

Drag Measurements at Low Lift of a Four-Nacelle Airplane Configuration Having a Longitudinal Distribution of Cross-Sectional Area Conducive to Low Transonic Drag Rise

Description: Report discussing a flight test of a four-nacelle delta-wing airplane configuration based on the transonic area rule in order to counteract the effects of high pressure drag at transonic and supersonic speeds. The testing verified that the transonic area rule can make designing complex aircraft with low transonic and supersonic pressure drag much easier.

Final Report: Production Test No 105-505-SI. Exposure of Two Different Types of Rubber to Pile Water

Description: In connection with different seals for C & D equipment it appears advantageous that many parts could be made of rubber or other elastic polymers. However, data on the deterioration rate of these materials under irradiation are somewhat scant in the available literature. It appears that for neutrons and pure gamma radiation that a good grade of natural rubber stands up best in all the test reported and because the results of the neutron irradiation are so closely correlated with results from g… more

Pressure Drag of Bodies at Mach Numbers Up to 2.0

Description: "The drag of bodies has now assumed greater importance because, as shown in NACA RM L53I15a, 1953 and NACA RM A53H18a, 1953, the transonic drag rise of an airplane can be the same as its equivalent body. Obviously, the airplane designer would like his airplane to have a low-drag equivalent body. This paper shows some of the factors which minimize the drag of bodies at transonic and supersonic speeds and shows some of the penalties caused by deviating from low-drag body shapes" (p. 1).

Investigation of the Low-Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of a 1/10-Scale Model of the Convair YF-102 Airplane in the Langley Free-Flight Tunnel

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of the low-speed, power-off stability and control characteristics of a 1/10-scale model of the Convair YF-102 airplane has been made in the Langley free-flight tunnel. The model was flown over a lift-coefficient range from 0.5 to the stall in its basic configuration and with several modifications involving leading-edge slats and increases in vertical-tail size. Only relatively low-altitude conditions were simulated and no attempt was made to determine the effect … more
