Four years at Hanford

Description: Operation, rehabilitation, and expansion of Hanford Works was undertaken by GE from Sept. 1946 to the end of 1950. As a result of engineering progress, graphite reactors continue to be the country`s primary source of plutonium in production quantities; at the end of 1950, the plutonium production rate from the Hanford reactors was 299% of the 1946 rate with a 67% increase in reactor facilities. Improvements to existing plant facilities and processes resulted in savings of $53.3 M; in addition, … more

Method for Estimating Lift Interference of Wing-Body Combinations at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting the use of the modified slender-body method to predict the lift and moment interference of triangular wing-body combinations adapted to combinations with other than triangular wings. The methods are applied to the prediction of the lit-curve slopes of nearly 100 triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal wing-body configurations.

Method for estimating lift interference of wing-body combinations at supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting the use of the modified slender-body method to predict the lift and moment interference of triangular wing-body combinations to evaluate combinations with non-triangular wings. The method is applied to the prediction of lift-curve slopes of nearly 100 triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal wing-body configurations.
