An Application of the Rocket-Propelled-Model Technique to the Investigation of Low-Lift Buffeting and the Results of Preliminary Tests

"The rocket-propelled-model technique has been applied to the investigation of low-lift buffeting. Results of preliminary tests show that severe buffeting, wing dropping, and normal-force changes occur almost simultaneously near zero lift over a Mach number range near 0.9 on unswept wings 12 percent thick. On unswept wings 7 percent thick, buffeting did not occur; however, mild wing dropping and normal-force changes were experienced" (p. 1).

Meson-Mass Measurements II - On the Measurement of the Masses of Charged Pions (open access)

Meson-Mass Measurements II - On the Measurement of the Masses of Charged Pions

This paper describes the method developed and the results obtained in an extensive program of measurement of the masses of charged pions. Measurements were made of the total ranges in nuclear track emulsion and the momenta (obtained from the curving of the particle trajectory in the magnetic field of the 184-inch cyclotron) of pions and protons of nearly the same velocity.

Tests of Lifting Surfaces on Conical and Cylindrical Portions of a Body at Subsonic Mach Numbers and at a Mach Number of 1.2 (open access)

Tests of Lifting Surfaces on Conical and Cylindrical Portions of a Body at Subsonic Mach Numbers and at a Mach Number of 1.2

Report presenting testing of low-aspect-ratio triangular-plan-form lifting surfaces located on conical and cylindrical portions of a body have been determined at Mach number 1.2 and several subsonic speeds to determine if the aerodynamic characteristics of these surfaces at supersonic speeds could be improved by locating them in the subsonic conical-flow field. Results regarding lift and drag coefficients and lift-curve slopes are provided.
