Comparison of Several Methods of Cyclic De-Icing of a Gas-Heated Airfoil

Description: "Several methods of cyclic de-icing of a gas-heated airfoil were investigated to determine ice-removal characteristics and heating requirements. The cyclic de-icing system with a spanwise ice-free parting strip in the stagnation region and a constant-temperature gas-supply duct gave the quickest and most reliable ice removal. Heating requirements for the several methods of cyclic de-icing are compared, and the savings over continuous ice prevention are shown. Data are presented to show the rela… more

The effect of nacelle combinations and size on the zero-lift drag of a 45 degree sweptback wing and body configuration as determined by free-flight tests at Mach numbers between 0.8 and 1.3

Description: Investigation of the effect on zero-lift drag of varying the size and number of symmetrically mounted nacelles on a 45 degree sweptback wing and body combination as determined by free-flight tests of rocket-propelled models over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. The nacelle configuration consisted of a twin-engine nacelle near the fuselage, a combination of single-engine nacelles at the wing tip and fuselage, a large nacelle at the wing tip, and a large nacelle near the fuselage.
