Effect of inlet flow distortion on compressor stall and acceleration characteristics of a J65-B-3 turbojet engine

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of inlet flow distortion on the compressor stall and engine acceleration characteristics of a J65-B-3 turbojet engine. A sinusoidal circumferential distortion and two abrupt radial tip flow distortions were introduced at the engine inlet at several altitudes and Mach number 0.8. Results regarding the definition of inlet flow distortions, acceleration limits, compressor pressure ratio at stall, fuel flow for stall, and maximum accelerat… more

Preliminary Free-Jet Performance of XRJ43-MA-3 Flight-Weight Ram-Jet Engine at Mach Numbers of 2.35, 2.50, and 2.70

Description: From Summary: "The performance of the XRJ43-MA-3 flight-weight ram-jet engine has been investigated in a free-jet facility as part of the development program for the "Bomarc," ram-jet powered, interceptor-type missile. The engine performance was obtained at Mach numbers of 2.35, 2.50, and 2.70, altitudes from 50,000 to 75,000 feet, and Miami hot day and cold day inlet temperatures at an angle of attack of +4 deg. At each flight condition investigated, the engine control set an inner-ring fuel f… more

An Investigation of the Effects of Nose and Lip Shapes for an Underslung Scoop Inlet at Mach Numbers from 0 to 1.9

Description: An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the performance characteristics an underslung nose-scoop air-induction system for a supersonic airplane. Five different nose shapes, three lip shapes, and two internal diffusers were investigated. Tests were made at Mach numbers from 0 to 1.9, angles of attack from 0 deg to approximately l5 deg, and mass-flow ratios from 0 to maximum obtainable. It was found that the underslung nose-scoop inlet was able to operate at Mach numbers from 0.6… more

Effect of leading-edge sweepback on lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics of thin wings of aspect ratio 3 and taper ratio 0.4 at subsonic and supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting wind-tunnel testing to determine the effect of leading-edge sweepback on the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics of 3-percent-thick wings of aspect ratio 3 and taper ratio 0.4. Increasing the leading-edge sweepback of wings decreased both the lift-curve slope and the variation of static longitudinal stability at zero lift with Mach number. Results regarding lift, pitching moment, and drag are provided.

Application of non-afterburning turbojets to supersonic flight

Description: Report presenting a paper to consider the feasibility of attaining, through the use of non-afterburning engines, essentially the same range with an all-supersonic mission as the range currently obtained with a mission incorporating subsonic cruise and supersonic dash.

Experimental investigation of a surge control on a turbojet engine

Description: The action of a surge control that reduced fuel flow after receiving an indication of surge initiation was investigated. The control system could successfully limit surge to only 1 cycle but could not completely eliminate surge. Inability to interrupt a surge cycle before its completion was attributed to the conclusion that a surge cycle is irreversible.

Bevatron Operation and Development, VI

Description: A large fraction of the effort on high-energy physics this quarter was devoted to the study of K particles. Ten of the fourteen external laboratory groups, as well as seven of the internal laboratory groups, used the K{sup {+-}}-beam facilities. These experiments included measurements of lifetimes, modes of decay; and excitation functions. Counters and cloud-chamber techniques were used in addition to nuclear emulsions. Measurements of total and differential cross-sections for {pi}{sup -} meson… more

A study of conical camber for triangular and sweptback wings

Description: Report presenting a theoretical and experimental study to determine the effectiveness of camber in reducing the drag due to lift resulting from pressure forces acting on low-aspect-ratio triangular and sweptback wings. Design charts are included which aid in the selection of camber for various sweepback angles and Mach numbers. Results regarding drag characteristics and lift and moment characteristics are provided.
