Aerodynamic Loading Characteristics of a Wing-Fuselage Combination Having a Wing of 45 Degrees Sweepback Measured in the Langley 8-Foot Transonic Tunnel

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the aerodynamic loading characteristics of a wing-fuselage combination in the slotted test section of the transonic tunnel. The test was part of a systematic investigation of the effects of varying the amount of sweepback on wings in order to determine their suitability for transonic flight. Results regarding span load characteristics, normal-force characteristics, wing-tip angle of twist, spanwise distribution of section pitching-moment coefficient, pitchi… more

Critical mass studies of plutonium solutions

Description: The chain reacting conditions for plutonium nitrate in water solution have been examined experimentally for a variety of sizes of spheres and cylinders. The effects on the critical mass of the displacement of hydrogen and the addition of poisons to the fuel were measured in water tamped and bare reactors. In this report the data obtained in the investigation is presented graphically and in tables. Some preliminary analysis has been made yielding the results: (i) the absorption cross-section of … more
