Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees: Effects of split flaps, elevons, and leading-edge devices at low speed

Description: Report presenting an investigation to evaluate the effects of split flaps, elevons, sharp leading edges, drooped-nose flaps, and extended-nose flaps on the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics at low speed of a wing-fuselage combination with a wing with the leading edge swept back 63 degrees and an aspect ratio of 3.5. Results regarding the plain wing and wing-fuselage combinations, Reynolds number, split flaps, elevons, leading-edge devices, and highest lift coefficient attained bef… more

Final report on Production Test No. 105-245-P -- Effectiveness of cadmium coated splines

Description: This report discussed cadmium coated splines which have been developed to supplement the regular control rod systems under emergency shutdown conditions from higher power levels. The objective of this test was to determine the effectiveness of one such spline placed in a tube in the central zone of a pile, and of two splines in the same tube. In addition, the process control group of the P Division asked that probable spline requirements for safe operation at various power levels be estimated, … more
