The corrosion of aluminum in dilute solutions: laboratory studies

Description: After it had been decided that aluminum was to be used as a corrosion-resistant material with good heat transfer properties, it was desired to determine the operating conditions to be used in the water-cooled Handford plant in order to avoid danger of corrosion penetration of thin aluminum parts. The studies here reported were undertaken with the object of determining these conditions by investigating the effects of all the known variables which might influence the corrosion behavior of aluminu… more

Summary report on the high-speed characteristics of six model wings having NACA 65(sub1)-series sections

Description: A summary of the results of wind-tunnel tests to determine the high-speed aerodynamic characteristics of six model wings having NACA 65sub1-series sections is presented in this report. The 8-percent-thick wings were superior to the 10-percent and 12-percent-thick wings from the standpoint of power economy during level flight for Mach numbers above 0.76. However, airplanes that are to fly at Mach numbers below 0.76 will gain aerodynamically if the percentage thickness of the wing and the aspect … more

A Flight Investigation of the Ice-Prevention Requirements of the United States Naval K-Type Airship

Description: Report discussing a research program to investigate ice prevention and elimination on airships in order to develop suitable airship ice-prevention equipment. A Naval K-type airship was equipped with photographic and meteorological tools in order to record ice formation and the propellers were outfitted with electrically heated blade shoes. Testing discovered that an airship can be flown successfully in wet snow and freezing rain with only the propellers and induction systems protected from the … more
