Some torsional-damping measurements of laminated beams as applied to the propeller stall-flutter problem

Description: The structural damping in the torsion mode of vibration of a series of untwisted, laminated thin beams simulating propeller blades is presented. The number of lamination were varied, as well as the bonding material and the method of joining lamination. Application of the data to the calculation of the minimum flutter speed of thin propeller blades indicates that appreciable gains in the minimum flutter speed may be obtained for laminated blades using a Cycleweld bond.

Low-Speed Aileron Effectiveness as Determined by Force Tests and Visual-Flow Observations on a 52 Degree Sweptback Wing With and Without Chord-Extensions

Description: The results of an investigation of the effects of leading-edge chord-extensions and extensible leading-edge flaps on the low-speed aileron characteristics of a 52 degrees sweptback wing with circular-arc airfoil sections are presented. A description and illustrations of the vortex flow as it passes over the wing are included. The investigation was conducted at Reynolds numbers of 5.5 times 10(exp 6) and 1.3 times 10(exp 6) and corresponding Mach numbers of 0.11 and 0.065 for an angle-of-attack … more
