Theoretical Calculations of the Lateral Stability Derivatives for Triangular Vertical Tails with Subsonic Leading Edges Traveling at Supersonic Speeds (open access)

Theoretical Calculations of the Lateral Stability Derivatives for Triangular Vertical Tails with Subsonic Leading Edges Traveling at Supersonic Speeds

Note presenting pressure-distribution expressions and stability derivatives derived by use of linear theory for zero-end-plate triangular vertical tails with subsonic leading edges performing rolling, yawing, and constant-lateral-acceleration motions. Corresponding results for the sideslip motion, most of which have been previously reported, are also included.

The Calculation of the Heat Required for Wing Thermal Ice Prevention in Specified Icing Conditions (open access)

The Calculation of the Heat Required for Wing Thermal Ice Prevention in Specified Icing Conditions

Note presenting a verification of previously derived equations for calculating the rate of heat transfer from airfoils in icing conditions, which have come about as a result of an investigation of the meteorological conditions conducive to the formation of ice on aircraft and a study of the process of airfoil thermal ice prevention. The results indicated that knowledge of these components has increased to a point where the design of heated wings on a fundamental, wet-air basis can now be undertaken with reasonable certainty.
