A Preliminary Investigation of the Usefulness of Camber in Obtaining Favorable Airfoil-Section Drag Characteristics at Supercritical Speeds (open access)

A Preliminary Investigation of the Usefulness of Camber in Obtaining Favorable Airfoil-Section Drag Characteristics at Supercritical Speeds

Report presenting an investigation to determine the possibility of delaying at moderate or large lift coefficients the onset of the abrupt supercritical drag rise of an airfoil section by the use of camber. Results indicated that the addition of camber to the NACA 0010 airfoil leads to significant improvements in the drag characteristics at moderately supercritical speeds .

A theory for stability and buzz pulsation amplitude in ram jets and an experimental investigation including scale effects (open access)

A theory for stability and buzz pulsation amplitude in ram jets and an experimental investigation including scale effects

From Summary: "From a theory developed on a quasi-one-dimensional-flow basis, it was found that the stability of the ram jet is dependent upon the instantaneous values of mass flow and total pressure recovery of the supersonic diffuser and immediate neighboring subsonic diffuser. Conditions for stable and unstable flow were presented. The theory developed in the report was in agreement with the experimental data of the reports both of Sterbentz and Evvard and of Ferri and Nucci."
