Stability and control characteristics at low speed of a 1/5-scale model of the Edo 142 hydro-ski research airplane (open access)

Stability and control characteristics at low speed of a 1/5-scale model of the Edo 142 hydro-ski research airplane

Report presenting an investigation in the 300 mph tunnel to determine the low-speed stability and control characteristics and the jet-engine duct-inlet pressure recovery characteristics of a model of the Edo 142 hydro-ski research airplane. Results regarding the longitudinal stability and control, stall-control devices, alighting gear, lateral stability, directional control, lateral control, and duct pressure recovery are provided.

Investigation of Minimum Drag and Maximum Lift-Drag Ratios of Several Wing-Body Combinations Including a Cambered Triangular Wing at Low Reynolds Numbers and at Supersonic Speeds (open access)

Investigation of Minimum Drag and Maximum Lift-Drag Ratios of Several Wing-Body Combinations Including a Cambered Triangular Wing at Low Reynolds Numbers and at Supersonic Speeds

Report presenting testing of wing-body combinations incorporating several wing plan forms of theoretical interest at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 in the supersonic tunnel. One triangular, one arrow, and tow diamond plan forms were tested. Results regarding minimum drag, lift-curve slope, center-of-pressure positions, drag due to lift, and lift-drag ratios are provided.

Matching Characteristics of J35-A-23 Compressor and Two-stage Turbine (open access)

Matching Characteristics of J35-A-23 Compressor and Two-stage Turbine

Component data on the J35-A-23 compressor and two-stage turbine were used to determine the problems in matching the two units for operation in a turbojet engine. Possible operating regions were determined and an equilibrium operating line was also determined for the assumed conditions of zero flight speed and a jet nozzle area approximately 5.5 percent greater than the wide-open nozzle area.
