Transonic wind-tunnel investigation of the effects of external stores and store position on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 1/16-scale model of the Douglas D-558-II research airplane
Report presenting an investigation in the transonic tunnel to determine the effects of adding external, pylon-suspended stores to a model of the Douglas D-558-II research airplane. Tests were made for two spanwise store locations and covered a range of angles of attack and Mach numbers. Results regarding the drag, lift, and pitching-moment characteristics are provided.

Performance of a high-solidity high-pressure-ratio transonic rotor
A high-solidity low-aspect-ratio transonic rotor with an inlet hub-tip ratio of 0.52 was investigated experimentally. The rotor developed a total-pressure tatio of 1.93 and an efficiency of 92 percent at an equivalent wheel tip speed of 1036 feet per second. The feasibility of using this rotor as a component of an inlet stage of an axial-flow compressor was investigated.

Flight Investigation at Supersonic Mach Numbers of an Automatic Acceleration Control Missile in Which Rate Damping Is Obtained From a Linear Accelerometer Placed Ahead of the Missile Center of Gravity
Report presenting a supersonic flight investigation of a roll-stabilized acceleration control missile for a Mach number range from 1.4 to 1.7. The control system operation was found to be satisfactory and applicable to some present-day missiles using linear acceleration commands. Results regarding analysis, preflight simulator results, a comparison between simulator and analytical results, flight test results, and a comparison between the flight test and preflight simulator results are presented.

The effect of leading-edge droop upon the pressure distribution and aerodynamic loading characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback wing at transonic speeds
Report presenting an investigation in the 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine the effects of leading-edge droop on the pressure distribution on a 45 degree sweptback wing with an aspect ratio of 4, a taper ratio of 0.6, and NACA 65A006 airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry. Results regarding the chordwise pressure distributions, wing-panel characteristics, wing-section characteristics, and maximum additional normal load on wing leading edge are provided.

A survey of unclassified axial-flow-compressor literature
A survey of unclassified axial-flow-compressor literature is presented in the form of brief reviews of the methods, results, and conclusions of selected reports. The reports are organized into several main categories with subdivisions, and frequent references are made within the individual reviews to pertinent material elsewhere in the survey.
