Effects of Taper Ratio on the Longitudinal Characteristics at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.4 of a Wing-Body-Tail Combination Having an Unswept Wing of Aspect Ratio 3

Description: Report presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of a variation in wing taper ratio on the longitudinal characteristics of a wing-body combination at a variety of Mach numbers. The wings had an aspect ratio of 3, an unswept midchord line, and an NACA 64A003 profile. Results regarding the lift and pitching-moment characteristics and drag characteristics are provided.

The Effect of a 4-Percent-High Spoiler on Buffeting Forces on a NACA 65(Sub 06)A004 Two-Dimensional Airfoil at Subsonic Mach Numbers

Description: Memorandum presenting testing of an NACA 65(sub 06)A004 airfoil to determine the effects of a solid-strip spoiler on buffeting forces. Fluctuations of both section normal-force coefficient and of section pitching-moment coefficient are presented as functions of angle of attack and of section normal-force coefficient. Generally, the spoiler decreased the fluctuating section normal-force and pitching-moment coefficients if comparison is made at constant angle of attack and increased these coeffic… more

A flight and analog computer study of some stabilization and command networks for an automatically controlled interceptor during the final attack phase

Description: Report presenting studies of the final attack phase of an automatically controlled interceptor in flight and electronic simulators to investigate various airplane command and stabilization networks and to develop simple but adequate simulation techniques for the synthesis of automatic control systems. Results regarding automatic control with a simple command system, automatic control with the improved command system, and evaluation of the automatic control system in typical final attack maneuve… more

Effects of sweep and taper on the longitudinal characteristics of an aspect ratio 3 wing-body combination at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.4

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to assess the effects of sweep and taper ratio on the longitudinal characteristics of a wing-body combination at a range of Mach numbers. The results indicated that increased leading-edge sweep caused a progressive decrease in lift-curve slope and the variation of Mach number of the lift-curve slope and static longitudinal stability. Results regarding the effect of sweep, effect of taper ratio, and comparison with results of a previous investigati… more

Investigation at Transonic Speeds of Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Semicircular Air Inlet in the Root of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the transonic blowdown tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.63 to 1.41 to determine increments in lift, drag, and pitching moment of a sweptback semicircular air inlet installed in the root of a 45 degree sweptback wing. Results regarding internal pressures and inlet performances are provided.

An Investigation of the Effects of Rapid Skin Heating on Box Beams Loaded in Bending

Description: Report presenting testing of two beams of three web types which were loading in bending and subjected to rapid skin heating at rates from about 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit per second. The investigation was meant to determine some of the effects that rapid skin heating would have on the buckling and failing strength of multiweb-wing structures. The three types of web tested included the channel web, corrugated web, and truss web.

Spatial Burnout in Water Reactors with Nonuniform Startup Distributions of Uranium and Boron

Description: "Spatial burnout calculations have been made of two types of water moderated cylindrical reactor using boron as a burnable poison to increase reactor life. Specific reactors studied were a version of the Submarine Advanced Reactor (sAR) and a supercritical water reactor (SCW). Burnout characteristics such as reactivity excursion, neutron-flux and heat-generation distributions, and uranium and boron distributions have been determined for core lives corresponding to a burnup of approximately 7 ki… more

Gamma Photometer Use for Nondestructive Determination of Uranium Content of Enriched "C" Slugs

Description: it is desired to know the accuracy and precision of uranium content determination with the γ-photometer. Several possible sources of error (involving both bias and variability) arise when the problem is fully considered. As analysis of data collected for the evaluation of this technique has progressed, there has been a continued discovery of new sources of error and bias further complicating this evaluation. These possible sources have not yet all been systematically examined and thus a complet… more

The Lindemann and Grüneisen Laws

Description: The Lindemann assumption of direct contact of neighboring atoms at fusion is replaced by the criterion that melting occurs when the root-mean-square amplitude of thermal vibration reaches a critical fraction ρ, presumed the same for all isotropic monatomic solids, of the distance of separation of nearest-neighbor atoms. The Debye-Waller theory of the temperature dependence of the intensity of Bragg reflection of x-rays is used, without further assumptions, to derive a generalized Lindemann law… more
