Report discussing flow surveys made of several nozzles using two 2-dimensional steps at Mach number 6.98. Results regarding wall-pressure surveys, disturbance patterns in expansion, total-pressure survey, temperature recovery, and general nozzle characteristics are provided.

An investigation of the rolling effectiveness at transonic and supersonic speeds of partial-span ailerons on a 42.7 degree sweptback wing having symmetrical circular-arc airfoil sections of 10-percent thickness ratio normal to the wing quarter-chord line has been made by means of rocket-propelled test vehicles. The results are compared with results of a supersonic wind-tunnel test at Mach number 1.9.

Memorandum presenting an approximate subsonic theory developed for the solid blockage interference in circular wind tunnels with walls slotted in the direction of flow. The theory indicated the possibility of obtaining zero blockage interference. Tests in a circular slotted tunnel based on the theory confirmed the theoretical predictions.

From Summary: "Results are presented of light tests made to determine the effect of flap deflection on the lateral control characteristics of a modified Brewster F2A-2 airplane equipped with partial-span narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge of a full-span NACA slotted flap. The investigation included determination of the rolling and yawing characteristics of the airplane in abrupt aileron rolls with the slotted flap at various settings ranging from 0 degree to about 40 degrees. The results showed that the effectiveness of the ailerons was greatly reduced at flap deflections greater than about 20 degrees. For flap deflections up to about 20 degrees, the aileron effectiveness was about the same as with flaps retracted, but the adverse yawing velocity developed in the abrupt aileron rolls was somewhat increased."
