Low-Speed Roll Effectiveness of a Differentially Deflected Horizontal-Tail Surface on a 42 Degree Swept-Wing Model

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the roll effectiveness of a differentially deflected horizontal tail of a 42 degree swept-wing model. The model was tested through an angle-of-attack range of 0 degrees through the stall in the clean and landing configurations with the horizontal tail in a low position. Results regarding the longitudinal characteristics and lateral characteristics are provided.

Some Effects of Roll Rate on the Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Cruciform Missile Configuration as Determined From Flight Test for a Mach Number Range of 1.1 to 1.8

Description: Report discussing testing of a cruciform missile with a low-aspect-ratio wing and flap-type controls to determine the stability and control characteristics while rolling. Longitudinal stability and control effectiveness for this particular configuration were examined. The data obtained was compared to results from a similar model that was rolling significantly less.

Some Effects of Roll Rate on the Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Cruciform Missile Configuration as Determined From Flight Test for a Mach Number Range of 1.1. To 1.8

Description: Report presenting flight testing of a model of a cruciform missile configuration with a low-aspect-ratio wing equipped with flap-type controls in order to determine the stability and control characteristics while rolling at about 5 radians per second. Results indicated that if the ratio of roll rate to natural circular frequency in pitch is not greater than about 0.3, the motion following a step disturbance in pitch essentially remains in a plane in space. Results regarding time histories, norm… more

The effect of fluid injection on the compressible turbulent boundary layer : the effect of skin friction of air injected into the boundary layer of a cone at M = 2.7

Description: Report presenting data from which the effects of transpiration air flow on average skin-friction coefficients and pressure drag of a conical model were evaluated. The model consisted of a truncated porous nose cone with a solid ogival nose section. Results regarding the pressure distribution, base pressure drag, average skin-friction coefficients, effects of transpiration air, and comparison with theory.

Ditching Investigation of a 1/12-Scale Model of the Douglas F4D-1 Airplane, TED No. NACA DE 384

Description: "A ditching investigation was made of a l/l2-scale dynamically similar model of the Douglas F4D-1 airplane to study its behavior when ditched. The model was landed in calm water at the Langley tank no. 2 monorail. Various landing attitudes, speeds, and configurations were investigated. The behavior of the model was determined from visual observations, acceleration records, and motion-picture records of the ditchings. Data are presented in tables, sequence photographs, time-history acceleration … more
