A Brief Summary of Experience in Boosting Aerodynamic Research Models

"Approximately 2,000 flights of rocket-propelled models have been made in which model configuration, model size, type and number of booster rockets, number of booster stages, and booster arrangements varied. A brief summary of the results obtained with some of the more unusual arrangements, descriptions of boosting hardware and techniques, and discussions of some factors responsible for the choice of these configurations are presented in this paper. The results show that unconventional boosting techniques may be used successfully when conventional tandem arrangements are unsuitable or unwieldy" (p. 1).

Investigation of unsteady flow past four NACA 6-percent-thick airfoil sections

Report presenting an investigation of the intensity of root-mean-square pressure pulsations and root-mean-square normal-force-coefficient fluctuations conducted on two high-lift airfoils and two 6-series airfoils. Results regarding the factors affecting comparison of data from various test facilities, root-mean-square pressure pulsations, and root-mean-square force fluctuations are provided.
