Summary of Methods of Measuring Angle of Attack on Aircraft

Note presenting wind-tunnel calibrations of three types of angle-of-attack sensing devices - the pivoted vane, the differential pressure tube, and the null-seeking pressure tube. Flight data on the position errors for three sensor locations - ahead of the fuselage nose, ahead of the wing tip, and on the forebody of the fuselage - are also presented. Various methods for calibrating angle-of-attack installations in flight are briefly described.

Airborne Radioactivity Surveys in Geologic Exploration

The following report describes the use of airborne radioactivity surveying and analytical techniques in geologic exploration by examples of the analysis or evaluation of airborne data related to specific geologic settings. The airborne radioactivity surveying program was begun in 1949 by the U.S. Geological Survey to assist in uranium exploration.
