NACA Conference on Aerodynamics of High Speed Aircraft (open access)

NACA Conference on Aerodynamics of High Speed Aircraft

"This document contains reproductions of technical papers presented by staff members of the NACA Laboratories at the NACA Conference on Aerodynamics of High-Speed Aircraft held at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory November 1, 2, and 3, 1955. The primary purpose of the conference was to convey to contractors of the military services and others concerned with the design of aircraft the results of recent research and to provide those attending with an opportunity to discuss these results. The papers in this document are in the same form in which they were orally presented at the conference to facilitate their prompt distribution" (p. vii).

Study of Effects of Microstructure and Anisotropy on Fatigue of 23S-T4 Aluminum Alloy

Note presenting a study of the effects of variation in microstructure on the fatigue properties of 24S-T4 aluminum-alloy notched specimens tested in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
