The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis II. Amino Acids

Description: The radioactive amino acid's synthesized from C{sup 14}O{sub 2} by green algae both in the light and in the dark after CO{sub 2}-free preillumination have been separated and identified using paper chromatography and radioautography. The radioactive amino acids identified were aspartic acid, alanine and smaller amounts of 3- and 4-carbon amino acids. This finding as well as the total absence of radioactive glutamic acid substantiates the mechanism for reduction of CO{sub 2} previously postulated… more

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Low-Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of a Model With a Sweptback Vee Tail and a Sweptback Wing

Description: Report presenting testing in the 300 mph tunnel of a model with a sweptback vee tail and a sweptback wing to determine its low-speed stability and control characteristics. The results are compared to testing with the same tail panel with zero dihedral on the same wing-fuselage combination. The longitudinal stability characteristics, downwash at the tail, longitudinal control characteristics, lateral stability characteristics, and rudder control characteristics are provided.

Preliminary Investigation at a Mach Number of 1.9 and a Reynolds Number of 2,200,000 of Three Ailerons Applicable to the Bell XS-2 Airplane Design

Description: Report presenting testing of a 42.7 degree sweptback tapered wing with three types of ailerons tested at a Mach number of 1.9 and a Reynolds number of 2,200,000; the wing geometry was similar to that of an XS-2 airplane. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the effectiveness of ailerons at these specified flight characteristics. Results regarding the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing are also provided.
