Performance of a swept leading edge rotor of the supersonic type with mixed flow

Description: Report investigation Freon-12 as the working fluid for a 14-inch-diameter supersonic mixed-flow axial-discharge rotor of the impulse type. The whole series of tests was performed twice, once with guide vanes that underturned the air and gave a lower relative inlet velocity and once with a set that gave the design values for velocity and direction. Results regarding the overall performance characteristics, entrance flow, internal pressure patterns, exit flow, and rotor losses are provided.

Preliminary Investigation of a Chemical Starting Technique for the Acid - Gasoline Rocket Propellant System

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the use of a small quantity of fluid that ignites spontaneously within nitric acid to initiate the acid-gasoline reaction carried out in a 200-pound-thrust uncooled engine with a characteristic length of 30 inches at a range of temperatures. The starting process was divided into two phases: ignition and transition. Results regarding ignition temperature limits, effect of temperature on allowable igniter fuel flow, optimum valve opening time for ignition… more

Force and pressure recovery characteristics at supersonic speeds of a conical spike inlet with bypasses discharging in an axial direction

Description: Report presenting an investigation of an axially symmetric nacelle-type conical spike inlet with two bypasses located in the horizontal plane and on opposite sides of the nacelle in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic tunnel at several Mach numbers and angles of attack. Results regarding the performance with open bypasses and with closed bypasses are provided.

Characteristics of a canard-type missile configuration with an underslung scoop inlet at Mach numbers from 1.5 to 2.0

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation of a canard-type missile configuration with an underslung scoop inlet in the 8 by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at a range of Mach numbers, angles of attack, control-surface deflection angles, boundary-layer-scoop heights, and inlet mass-flow ratios. Measurement of the external forces indicated that maximum lift-drag ratios were in excess of 5 at all test Mach numbers.
