Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 1.53 of an Airplane With a Triangular Wing

Description: Report discusses the results of an investigation into the aerodynamic characteristics of models of a tailless, pursuit-type, supersonic airplane employing a wing of triangular plan form. Measurements of lift, drag, and pitching moment, side force, drag, and yawing moment are described for several angles of attack and angles of yaw. Information about elevator and rudder behavior is also described.

Performance of Compressor of XJ-41-V Turbojet Engine V-Performance Analysis of Compressor With Revised Vaned Collector Over Range of Compressor Speeds From 3600 to 11,500 RPM

Description: "An investigation of the XJ-41-V turbojet-engine compressor with a revised vaned collector was conducted to determine the performance of the compressor and to obtain fundamental information on the aerodynamic problems associated with large centrifugal compressors of this type. The original vaned collector was revised by increasing the flow area at the vaned collector entrance. A maximum adiabatic efficiency of 0.81 was obtained at a corrected weight flow of 36.5 pounds per second and a pressure… more
