A Summary and Analysis of Wind-Tunnel Data on the Lift and Hinge-Moment Characteristics of Control Surfaces Up to a Mach Number of 0.90

Description: Report presenting an extensive collection of lift and hinge-moment characteristics of control surfaces up to a Mach number of 0.90 in a high-speed wind tunnel. A wide variety of control-surface profiles, plan forms, and aerodynamic balances are included. Results regarding elevator hinge moments and longitudinal control, aileron hinge moments and lateral control, control-surface characteristics, and transonic flutter are highlighted.

Relation of Nozzle-Blade and Turbine-Bucket Temperatures to Gas Temperatures in a Turbojet Engine

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted to determine experimentally turbine-nozzle-blade and turbine-bucket temperatures in a turbojet engine and to correlate these temperatures with the gas temperatures. Data were obtained over the normal range of engine speeds and with two tail-pipe-nozzle areas. Results regarding basic data, turbine-nozzle-blade temperature distribution, turbine-bucket-temperature distribution, temperature distribution of gas at burner-outlet, turbine-bucket tempera… more
