Analysis of the turbojet engine for propulsion of supersonic fighter airplanes

Description: An analytical investigation was made of two supersonic interceptor type airplanes to determine the most desirable turbojet engine characteristics for this application The airplanes were designed differently primarily because of the amount of subsonic flight incorporated in the flight plan--one flight having none and the other, a cruise radius of 400 nautical miles. Several power plant design variables were varied independently to determine the effect of changes in each parameter on airplane per… more

Air-flow characteristics of brazed and rolled wire filter cloth for transpiration-cooled afterburners

Description: From Introduction: "Because of variation in the static-pressure drop across the porous material and in the cooling air required along the length of afterburner combustion chambers, a prescribed distribution of permeability is usually necessary. However, as a preliminary investigation, this report is concerned only with the attainment of uniform permeability. The results of an experimental investigation, conducted at the NACA Lewis laboratory, to determine the permeabilities of five thick meshes… more

Investigation at Mach Numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 of the Effect of Oscillation Amplitude on the Damping in Pitch of Delta-Wing-Body Combinations

Description: Report presenting testing of four delta-wing and body combinations at specified Mach numbers to determine the effect of oscillation amplitude on the damping in pitch. The body tested was the same, but the wings had 25 degree, 30 degree, 35 degree, and 45 degree semiapex angles. Results indicate that the damping-in-pitch parameter can be predicted by theory, and when a variation of this parameter with amplitude occurs, it is usually small and camping increases with decreasing amplitude.
