Comparison of performance of AN-F-58 and AN-F-32 fuels in J33-A-23 turbojet engine (open access)

Comparison of performance of AN-F-58 and AN-F-32 fuels in J33-A-23 turbojet engine

Report presenting an investigation using a 4600 pound-thrust turbojet engine as part of a program to determine the comparative performance of fuels conforming to specifications AN-F-58 and AN-F-32. Results regarding the altitude performance, altitude low-speed blow-out limits, idling limits of fuel-metering control, altitude windmilling starts, carbon-deposition rates, and iron oxide contamination are provided.

Investigation at Low Speed of the Flow Field Behind the Lifting Surfaces of a Model Equipped With a 60 Degree Triangular Wing and a 60 Degree Triangular Canard Tail (open access)

Investigation at Low Speed of the Flow Field Behind the Lifting Surfaces of a Model Equipped With a 60 Degree Triangular Wing and a 60 Degree Triangular Canard Tail

Report presenting an investigation of the flow behind the lifting surfaces of a model equipped with a 60 degree triangular wing and a 60 degree triangular canard tail. Results regarding the force and moment data, air-stream surveys behind the wing, effective values of downwash and dynamic-pressure ratio, effect of tail height and length, a comparison with previous data, the effects of component area and ratio, and the effect of a canard tail are provided.

An Investigation of the Low-Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of Swept-Forward and Swept-Back Wing in the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel (open access)

An Investigation of the Low-Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of Swept-Forward and Swept-Back Wing in the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel

"An investigation has been made at large scale of the characteristics of highly swept wings. Data were obtained at several angles of sideslip on wings having angles of sweep of plus or minus 45 degrees, plus or minus 30 degrees, and 0 degrees. The airfoil sections of the wings varied from approximately NACA 0015 at the root to NACA 23009 at the tip. Each wing was investigated with flaps under flection, partial-span split flaps deflected 60 degrees, full-span split flaps defected 60 degrees and split-flap-type ailerons deflected plus or minus 15 degrees" (p. 1).
