Investigation of Low-Speed Aileron Control Characteristics at a Reynolds Number of 6,800,000 of a Wing With Leading Edge Swept Back 42 Degrees With and Without High-Lift Devices

Description: Report presenting an investigation at a Reynolds number of 6,800,000 to determine the low-speed lateral control characteristics of a 20-percent-chord half-span outboard aileron on a wing with 42 degrees of sweepback at the leading edge. The lateral control, aileron hinge-moment, aileron load, and balance-chamber-pressure characteristics were determined for the wing with and without high-lift and stall-control devices for an angle-of-attack range from -4 degrees through the stall.

Thermal Stress Tests of KS Graphite

Description: A program was initiated to determine the thermal rupture characteristics of KS graphite under steady-state operating conditions simulating the thermal conditions of an uninhibited rocket reactor. The maximum thermal stress calculated using room-temperature properties was 3090 psi. The maximum net specific power obtained was 5.2 Btu/cu in.-sec. (B.O.G.)
