Report presenting the performance of a side inlet with a fixed 12 degree two-dimensional compression surface for a range of Mach numbers, angles of attack, and yaw. The effects of several methods of compression-surface boundary-layer removal were investigated as well as a solid ramp.

Report presenting an investigation in the altitude test chamber to determine the altitude performance of the J71-A-2(600-D1) turbojet engine. The engine was equipped with two-position inlet guide vanes and compressor acceleration bleeds. Results regarding the compressor performance, combustor performance, turbine performance, and effect of altitude on engine performance are provided.

Memorandum presenting an analysis of liquid methane, ethene, and propane along with normally liquid hydrocarbon fuels. The lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are superior to current JP-type fuels as heat sinks and that the more volatile fuels may be required with cooled-turbine engines.

Unsteady shock-induced separation of the ramp boundary layer was reduced and stabilized more effectively by external perforations than by external or internal slots. At Mach 2.0 peak total-pressure recovery was increased from 0.802 to 0.89 and stable mass-flow range was increased 185 percent over that for the solid ramp. Peak pressure recovery occurred just before instability. The 7 and one-third-diameter duct ahead of the engine reduced large total-pressure distortions but was not as successful for small distortions as obtained with throat bleed. By removing boundary-layer air the bypass nearly recovered the total-pressure loss due to the long duct.

From Introduction: "As part of a complete investigation of the J71-A-2(600-D1) turbojet engine conducted in an altitude test chamber at the NACA Lewis laboratory, the steady-state altitude performance, with afterburner inoperative and ejector shroud removed, was obtained and is presented herein. The component performance of the J71-A-2(600-D1) turbojet engine is presented in reference 1. The effects of compressor interstage bleed and adjustable inlet guide vanes on compressor-stall characteristics are described in reference 2."

"An investigation has been made in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a 1/40-sca!e pod-separation model of the Convair B-58 airplane at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.61, and 2.01. The complete return component and the complete pod with its canard controls were tested, both alone and in the presence of each other, at Mach numbers of 1.61 and 2.01. The complete pod and various combinations of its components were tested alone at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.61, and 2.01 and also in the presence of the return component at Mach numbers of 1.61 and 2.01" (p. 1).
