Nitrogen 12

Description: N{sup 12} is shown to have a half life of 12.5 {+-} 1 milliseconds, and a positron upper limit of 16.6 {+-} 0.2 Mev. It is produced by the reaction C{sup 12}(p,n)N{sup 12}, and has a threshold proton energy of 20.0 Mev. This indicates that N{sup 12} is within about 200 Kev of being unstable against proton emission. The mass of N{sup 12} is 12.0228 {+-} 0.00015, and the beta transition is allowed.

Two-Dimensional Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Two NACA 6-Series Airfoils With Leading-Edge Slats

Description: Report presenting an investigation of two NACA 6-series airfoils, the NACA 64(sub)1-212 and NACA 65A109 with leading edge slats and split flaps deflected 60 degrees. Information about optimum slat positions, airfoil section lift characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, and effect of roughness on the lift characteristics was obtained.

Investigation at low speeds of the effect of aspect ratio and sweep on rolling stability derivatives of untapered wings

Description: A low-scale wind-tunnel investigation was conducted in rolling flow to determine the effects of aspect ratio and sweep (when varied independently) on the rolling stability derivatives for a series of untapered wings. The rolling-flow equipment of the Langley stability tunnel was used for the tests. The data of the investigation have been used to develop a method of accounting for the effects of the drag on the yawing moment due to rolling throughout the lift range.
