Effect of X Irradiation on the Maturation of the Circulating Reticulocyte

Description: This report studies the effect of x irradiation on the maturation of the circulating reticulocytes, using samples of rabbit blood with and without phenylhydresine- or bleeding-induced anemia and comparing them to the blood of human subjects under similar circumstances.

NACA: University Conference on Aerodynamics: A Compilation of the Papers Presented

Description: This document contains reproductions of the technical papers presented at the NACA - University Conference on Aerodynamics held at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory on June 21, 22, and 23, 1948. The conference was held in recognition of the difficulties, imposed by security restrictions, in keeping abreast of the rapid advances in aerodynamics. The papers were prepared to review the status of a number of fields of interest, to summarize the more important wartime advances that are no longer c… more

Equations for the Design of Two-Dimensional Supersonic Nozzles

Description: Memorandum presenting equations for obtaining the wall coordinates of two-dimensional supersonic nozzles. The equations are based on the application of the method of characteristics to irrotational flow of perfect gases in channels. A brief discussion of characteristics as applied to nozzle design is given to assist in understanding and applying the nozzle-design method of the report.

Investigation of wing characteristics at a Mach number of 1.53 3: unswept wings of differing aspect ratio and taper ratio

Description: Report presenting testing of seven models that from two different wing series: a series of taper ratio 0.5 and differing aspect ratio and a series of aspect ratio 4 and differing taper ratio. Measurements of lift, drag, and pitching moment were made at Mach number 1.53. The aerodynamic parameters generally varied with aspect ratio and taper ratio in the manner indicated by the linear theory.
