Theoretical Study of the Tunnel-Boundary Lift Interference Due to Slotted Walls in the Presence of the Trailing-Vortex System of a Lifting Model

"The equations presented in this report give the interference on the trailing-vortex system of a uniformly loaded finite-span wing in a circular tunnel containing partly open and partly closed walls, with special reference to symmetrical arrangements of the open and closed portions. Methods are given for extending the equations to include tunnel shapes other than circular. The rectangular tunnel is used to demonstrate these methods. The equations are also extended to nonuniformly loaded wings" (p. 361).

Flight Measurements of Lift and Drag for the Bell X-1 Research Airplane Having a 10-Percent-Thick Wing (open access)

Flight Measurements of Lift and Drag for the Bell X-1 Research Airplane Having a 10-Percent-Thick Wing

Report presenting drag coefficients during power-off transonic flight for the Bell X-1 airplane with a 10-percent-thick wing over a range of Mach numbers and pressure altitudes. The data was compared to an X-1 with an 8-percent-thick wing and a wind tunnel test with a 10-percent-thick wing. Information about necessary angle of attack, drag-rise Mach number, maximum lift-drag ratio, and drag coefficient at zero lift is provided.

Geology of carnotite-bearing sandstone in the Uravan and Gateway districts, Montrose and Mesa counties, Colorado, and Grand County, Utah

This report describes the distribution of geologic features that may be used as geologic guides to carnotite deposits, sedimentary trends of the ore-bearing sandstone, and regional structures within and adjacent to the Urvan mineral belt in the Urvan and Gateway mining districts, Montrose and Mesa Counties, Colorado.
