The Effect of Wing Profile on the Transonic Characteristics of Rectangular and Triangular Wings Having Aspect Ratios of 3: Transonic Bump Technique

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of wing profile on the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of rectangular and triangular wings with aspect ratios of 3. Five wings were compared over a range of Mach and Reynolds number. Results regarding the rectangular and triangular wings and use of transonic area rule are provided.

Low-Speed Measurements of Rolling and Yawing Stability Derivatives of a 60 Degree Delta-Wing Model

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation in the free-flight tunnel to determine the low-speed rolling and yawing stability derivatives of a 60 degree delta-wing model from 0 to 30 degrees angle of attack. The derivatives were measured by the free-to-damp oscillation technique and by the steady-roll technique.

Zero-Lift Drag of the Chance Vought Regulus II Missile at Mach Numbers Between 0.8 and 2.2 as Determined From the Flight Tests of Two 0.12-Scale Models: TED No. NACA AD 398

Description: Report presenting testing of two scale models of the Chance Vought Regulus II missile to investigate its drag characteristics for a range of Mach numbers from 0.8 to 2.2. Due to some of the differences between the observed drag values and previous testing, the exact drag level of the configuration tested is still in question. Results regarding total drag and external drag are provided.

Performance of a 16-inch ram-jet engine with a can-type combustor at Mach numbers of 1.50 to 2.16

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the supersonic wind tunnel to evaluate the performance of a 16-inch ramjet engine using a can-type-combustor configuration. Data were obtained over a range of fuel-air ratios, free-stream Mach numbers, and angles of attack. Combustion efficiencies were generally unaffected by free-stream Mach number and varied between 60 and 90 percent with JP-4 fuel.

Experimental Investigation at High Subsonic Speeds to Determine the Rolling-Stability Derivatives of Three Wing-Fuselage Configurations

Description: Memorandum presenting rolling-stability derivatives for three wing configurations, which were tested on the same fuselage, over a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. The wings were assorted plan-form configurations of current interest and were not part of a geometrically related series of plan forms. Results regarding basic damping-in-roll results, estimation of rolling derivatives, and estimated effects of Reynolds number are provided.

Tests of the Northrop XB-62 Missile in the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel

Description: Memorandum presenting a series of tests made on a full-scale Northrop XB-62 missile to determine the cause of a directional out-of-trim condition which was encountered on the initial missile flight tests. The results indicated that the directional out-of-trim condition was caused by aerodynamic loads induced by engine operation.
