Thioctic Acid: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (open access)

Thioctic Acid: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

This paper constitutes a review of the experimental events that led our laboratory to focus its attention on thioctic acid, a discussion of some of the purely chemical and physical properties of thioctic acid that this awakened interest prompted us to investigate, and a brief description of some of our recent biological investigations with thioctic acid.

Preliminary Measurements of the Aerodynamic Yawing Derivatives of a Triangular, a Swept, and an Unswept Wing Performing Pure Yawing Oscillations, With a Description of the Instrumentation Employed (open access)

Preliminary Measurements of the Aerodynamic Yawing Derivatives of a Triangular, a Swept, and an Unswept Wing Performing Pure Yawing Oscillations, With a Description of the Instrumentation Employed

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of motion periodicity on the aerodynamic derivatives due to yawing velocity and yawing acceleration for a 60 degree delta wing, a 45 degree sweptback wing, and an unswept wing. Results were obtained from steady-state yawing-flow tests and tests of model performing pure sinusoidal yawing oscillations. Results regarding the static longitudinal characteristics, derivatives due to yawing velocity, and derivatives due to yawing acceleration are provided.

Investigation of Jet Effects on a Flat Surface Downstream of the Exit of a Simulated Turbojet Nacelle at a Free-Stream Mach Number of 1.39 (open access)

Investigation of Jet Effects on a Flat Surface Downstream of the Exit of a Simulated Turbojet Nacelle at a Free-Stream Mach Number of 1.39

Report presenting an investigation utilizing a blowdown-type tunnel to determine the effects of a propulsive jet on a zero angle-of-attack wing surface located in the vicinity of both a choked convergent nozzle and a convergent-divergent nozzle. Static-pressure surveys were made on a flat surface located in the vicinity of the propulsive jet. Results regaridng the jet-off and jet-on pressure coefficients, shock waves, and incremental normal force are provided.

Three-dimensional transonic flow theory applied to slender wings and bodies (open access)

Three-dimensional transonic flow theory applied to slender wings and bodies

The present paper re-examines the derivation of the integral equations for transonic flow around slender wings and bodies of revolution, giving special attention to conditions resulting from the presence of shock waves and to the reduction of the relations to the special forms necessary for the discussion of sonic flow, that is, flow at free-stream Mach number 1.

Fuselage side inlets : a study of some factors affecting their performance and a comparison with nose inlets (open access)

Fuselage side inlets : a study of some factors affecting their performance and a comparison with nose inlets

Report presenting basic principles affecting the performance of side-inlet air-induction systems as well as an examination of the performance of several fuselage side inlets and a comparison with nose inlets. Methods for improving the performance of both types of inlets are reviewed.
