Investigation of Aerodynamic and Icing Characteristics of Water-Inertia-Separation Inlets for Turbojet Engines

Description: "The results of an investigation of several internal water-inertia-separation inlets consisting of a main duct and an alternate duct designed to prevent automatically the entrance of large quantities of water into a turbojet engine in icing conditions are presented. Total-pressure losses and icing characteristics for a direct-ram inlet and the inertia-separation inlets are compared at similar aerodynamic and simulated icing conditions. Complete ice protection for inlet guide vanes could not be … more

The effects of compressibility on the pressures on a body of revolution and on the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing-nacelle combination consisting of the body of revolution mounted on a swept-back wing

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the effects of compressibility on the forces, pitching moments, and surface pressures on a wing-nacelle combination. The leading edge of the wing was swept back 37.25 degrees and the nacelle was a body of revolution with a fineness ratio of 6.5. The effects of compressibility on the surface pressures and on the drag of a body of revolution similar to the nacelle were also determined.
