Low-Speed Chordwise Pressure Distributions Near the Midspan Station of the Slotted Flap and Aileron of a 1/4-Scale Model of the Bell X-1 Airplane With a 4-Percent-Thick, Aspect-Ratio-4, Unswept Wing (open access)

Low-Speed Chordwise Pressure Distributions Near the Midspan Station of the Slotted Flap and Aileron of a 1/4-Scale Model of the Bell X-1 Airplane With a 4-Percent-Thick, Aspect-Ratio-4, Unswept Wing

Report presenting an investigation to determine the low-speed chordwise pressure distributions near the midspan station of the slotted flap and aileron of a model of the Bell X-1 airplane with a wing of aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.5, 0 degree sweepback of the 40-percent-chord line, and a modified NACA 64A004 airfoil section. Results regarding section pressure distribution and section normal-force and pitching-moment coefficients are provided.

Preliminary investigation of the 'freeze-casting' method for forming refractory powders (open access)

Preliminary investigation of the 'freeze-casting' method for forming refractory powders

An investigation of a method of preparing intricately shaped objects such as turbo-supercharger blades from refractory powders. The method consists of preparing an extremely thick slip of materials like titanium carbide with a small amount of binder, casting the slip in a mold, and freezing to retain the shape of the casting. Results regarding the applicability of the method and factors affecting soundness, are provided.

Flight Investigation of Engine Nacelles and Wing Vertical Position on the Drag of a Delta-Wing Airplane Configuration Form Mach Number 0.8 to 2.0 (open access)

Flight Investigation of Engine Nacelles and Wing Vertical Position on the Drag of a Delta-Wing Airplane Configuration Form Mach Number 0.8 to 2.0

Report presenting flight testing of a 60 degree delta wing (NACA 65A003 airfoil section) mounted in midwing and high-wing positions on a modified transonic body from Mach numbers 0.8 to 2.0. The high-wing configuration without nacelles had higher drag coefficients than the midwing configuration without nacelles, but both configurations had approximately the same longitudinal distribution and frontal area. Results regarding nacelle internal drag, configuration drag, nacelle drag coefficient, and normal-force coefficient are provided.

The Effects of Horizontal-Tail Height and a Partial-Span Leading-Edge Extension on the Static Longitudinal Stability of a Wing-Fuselage-Tail Combination Having a Sweptback Wing (open access)

The Effects of Horizontal-Tail Height and a Partial-Span Leading-Edge Extension on the Static Longitudinal Stability of a Wing-Fuselage-Tail Combination Having a Sweptback Wing

Memorandum presenting an investigation made to valuate the effects of vertical height of the horizontal tail on the static longitudinal stability of a model with a wing with 35 degrees of sweepback, an aspect ratio of 4.5, a taper ratio of 0.5, and NACA 64A010 sections. The investigation also included the effects of adding a partial-span, leading-edge chord extension to the outer portions of the wing. Results regarding the effect of tail height, wing-wake and local downwash measurements, and effect of a leading-edge extension are provided.

The Effects of Circular End Plates on the Lift, Drag, and Pitching Moment at Subsonic and Supersonic Speeds on a Modified Triangular Wing Having an Aspect Ratio of 2, a Taper Ratio of 0.33, and a 45 Degree Swept Leading Edge (open access)

The Effects of Circular End Plates on the Lift, Drag, and Pitching Moment at Subsonic and Supersonic Speeds on a Modified Triangular Wing Having an Aspect Ratio of 2, a Taper Ratio of 0.33, and a 45 Degree Swept Leading Edge

Memorandum presenting an investigation made of the effects of circular end plates on the aerodynamic characteristics of a modified triangular wing of aspect ratio 2 and taper ratio 0.33. The experimental results show that the addition of end plates produces so slight a difference in the total change in static longitudinal stability with Mach number in the range from 0.6 to 1.9 that no beneficial effects on the trim drag may be realized.
