Improved Spectrographic Analysis of Uranium and Plutonium by the Carrier Concentration Method

Introduction: "The carrier (pyroelectric) concentration method is commonly used in the spectrographic analysis of plutonium metal. This report describes work which lead to substantial improvements in accuracy, precision and ease with which the analysis is made. Included are data from analyses of plutonium metal by the original and the improved carrier methods, and the cupferron extraction method."

Some Effects of Spoiler Height, Wing Flexibility, and Wing Thickness on Rolling Effectiveness and Drag of Unswept Wings at Mach Numbers Between 0.4 and 1.7 (open access)

Some Effects of Spoiler Height, Wing Flexibility, and Wing Thickness on Rolling Effectiveness and Drag of Unswept Wings at Mach Numbers Between 0.4 and 1.7

Report presenting rolling effectiveness and drag tests of spoilers on unswept wings over a range of Mach numbers using rocket-propelled test vehicles in free flight. The wings tested had an aspect ratio of 3.7, were unswept and untapered, had thickness ratios of 3, 6, and 9 percent, and covered a range of flexibilities. Results regarding the rolling effectiveness and drag are provided.
