Effects of rate of flap deflection on flap hinge moment and wing lift through the Mach number range from 0.32 to 0.87

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of rate of flap deflection on flap hinge moment and wing lift at a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. For the rate of flap-deflection range investigated, the hinge-moment coefficient was practically independent of rate of flap deflection.

Turbine design considerations for turbine-propeller engine operating over a range of flight conditions

Description: Report discussing the importance of designing aircraft turbines so that the entire range of operating conditions has been considered. In this particular investigation, the compressor performance was used to determine the turbine design requirements for a turbine-propeller engine to be operated up to altitudes of 40,000 feet and flight velocities up to 600 miles per hour. The two modes of engine operation considered were constant exhaust-nozzle area and variable exhaust-nozzle area.

An investigation of high-frequency combustion oscillations in liquid-propellant rocket engines

Description: From Summary: "An experimental investigation of high-frequency combustion oscillations (screaming) was conducted with a 100-pound-thrust acid-hydrocarbon rocket engine and a 500-pound-thrust oxygen-fuel rocket engine. The oscillation frequencies could be correlated as a linear function of the parameter C/L, where C is the experimentally measured characteristic velocity and L is the combustion-chamber length. The tendency of the engines to scream increased as chamber length was increased. With e… more

A design and performance study of the nuclear direct-air-cycle supersonic airplane, including the effects of operating temperatures and fuel plate material and thickness

Description: Report presenting a study of the effects of high reactor and cycle temperatures and the effect of thickness of high-temperature fuel element materials on the feasibility of the nuclear-powered direct-air-cycle aircraft for flight at Mach number 1.5 and an altitude of 35,000 feet. Testing occurred over a range of reactor fuel temperatures, turbine-inlet temperatures, and reactor fuel plate thicknesses.

Effects of Compressibility at Mach Numbers Up to 0.8 on Internal-Flow Characteristics of a Cowling-Spinner Combination Equipped With an Eight-Blade Dual-Rotation Propeller

Description: Report presenting an investigation studying the effects of compressibility on the internal-flow characteristics of an NACA 1-series cowling-spinner combination equipped with a dual-rotation propeller at Mach numbers up to 0.8. Two propellers were examined, one with a sealed propeller-spinner juncture and one with a raised-platform-airfoil shaped juncture. The propeller was not found to have appreciable compressibility effects on the impact pressures when operating at design cruise blade angle.

Altitude performance investigation of a high-temperature afterburner

Description: From Introduction: "In response to the ever-increasing need for high thrust augmentation, an investigation was conducted that had as its primary objective the attainment of maximum exhaust-gas temperature and thrust (ref. 1). The investigation reported herein was therefore conducted to ascertain the operational limits of the most promising high-temperature afterburner design of reference 1 and to determine its performance over a wind range of flight conditions."

Provision for activated silica at 183-B

Description: In some discussions regarding water flow requirements for future pile power increases at the 100-B Area it was agreed that Pile Technology would explore the feasibility of slightly modifying the activated silica facility at 100-C to supply both areas. This letter summarizes the results of the survey and schedules tests which will allow recommendations to be confirmed.
