Performance of an All-Internal Conical Compression Inlet with Annular Throat Bleed at Mach Number 5.0 (open access)

Performance of an All-Internal Conical Compression Inlet with Annular Throat Bleed at Mach Number 5.0

From Summary: "An all-internal conical compression inlet with annular bleed at the throat was investigated at Mach 5.0 and zero angle of attack. The minimum contraction ratio of the supersonic diffuser, coincident with a mass-flow ratio of 1.0, was determined to be 0.084 as compared with the isentropic contraction ratio of 0.04 at Mach 5.0. The over-all inlet performance was very sensitive to the amount of annular bleed at the throat because of the extensive boundary layer."

Experimental and theoretical study of the interference at low speed between slender bodies and triangular wings (open access)

Experimental and theoretical study of the interference at low speed between slender bodies and triangular wings

Report presenting the aerodynamic characteristics of several wing-fuselage combinations measured at a Mach number of 0.25. Each combination consisted of a triangular wing with an aspect ratio of 2.0 and body of revolution with a fineness ratio of 12.5. Results regarding wings in the presence of bodies, wing-body combinations, and dorsal fins are provided.
