Memorandum presenting an investigation in natural icing conditions to determine the effect of ice formations on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine. A description of the change over time in tail-pipe temperature, engine jet thrust, fuel flow, ice collection, and acceleration qualities are provided.

Investigation at transonic speeds in the high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the rolling-effectiveness characteristics of a spoiler on a double-wedge-type semispan wing with a sweepback angle of 42 degrees. Results regarding the variation of rolling-moment coefficient, spoiler effectiveness, and rolling effectiveness are provided.

Report presenting the results of flight tests showing lateral oscillation in the Bell X-1 and calculations created to determine the effects of changes in several mass and aerodynamic parameters on the lateral oscillations. Calculations indicate that lateral stability should be improved by a more positive inclination of the principal axis of inertia or a reduction of the value of yawing moment of inertia.

Memorandum presenting measurements made in the transonic speed ranges of the static-pressure position error at a distance of 0.96 chord ahead of the wing tip of both the 8-percent-thick-wing and the 10-percent-thick-wing X-1 airplanes, and at a point 0.6 maximum fuselage diameter ahead of the fuselage nose of the X-1 airplanes. Results regarding the accuracy of pitot-static heads, static-pressure error of wing-tip installation, static-pressure error of the fuselage-nose installation, and error in total pressure are provided.

Memorandum presenting a description of an axial-discharge mixed-flow compressor, which is especially adapted for jet engines because of the large mass flow per unit frontal area. The best impeller was selected on the basis of the maximum air-flow capacity, which was 19.6 pounds per second for a 14-inch-diameter impeller with a tip speed of 1480 feet per second and a pressure ratio of 3.5.

Report presenting an analysis of an axial-discharge mixed-flow compressor designed to combine the compactness, reliability, and wide operating range of a mixed-flow compressor with the high flow capacity per unit of frontal area that characterizes the axial-flow compressor. The primary objective of this design was to maximize the flow capacity for a predetermined pressure ratio. Results regarding the flow distribution at the impeller inlet, flow distribution at the impeller outlet, and impeller performance are provided.

Report discussing a study with the following objectives: "to synthesize pure specimens of both methylisoproplydiketone and 1,1 dinitroisobutane, to determine their physical and chemical properties, and to devise analytical methods which permit their quantitative determination in hexone-nitric acid systems to be encountered in the Redox Process."

An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of a coolant solution of 25 percent ethyl alcohol, 25 percent methyl alcohol, and 50 percent water by volume and maximum-economy spark advance on knock-limited performance and fuel economy of a large air-cooled cylinder. The knock-limited performance of the cylinder at engine speeds of 2100 and 2500 rpm was determined for coolant-fuel ratios of 0.0, 0.2, and 0.4. The effect of water-alcohol injection on fuel economy was determined in constant charge-air flow tests. The tests were conducted at a spark advance of 20 deg B.T.C. and maximum-economy spark advance.

A supplementary investigation on the stabilization of the Jettisonable nose section of the X-2 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. It was found that the nose section could be stabilized by the addition of curved fins which could be folded against the fuselage for normal flight.
