Experimental Flutter Results for Cantilever-Wing Models at Mach Numbers Up to 3.0 (open access)

Experimental Flutter Results for Cantilever-Wing Models at Mach Numbers Up to 3.0

Report presenting experimental flutter testing at Mach numbers up to 3.0 using cantilever-wing models with 0 to 60 degree sweepback and 60 degree delta-wing models. The main variables explored were the high Mach number and center-of-gravity location on flutter trends. The theoretical results for flutter analyses were noted to be lower than the experimental results.

Investigation at supersonic speeds of external-drag effects and pumping characteristics of a short ejector (open access)

Investigation at supersonic speeds of external-drag effects and pumping characteristics of a short ejector

Report presenting an investigation at free-stream Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.94, and 2.41 to determine the external-drag effects and pumping characteristics of a short ejector housed within a highly bottailed afterbody. The tests covered secondary to primary diameter ratios of 1.50 and 1.33, mass flow ratios from 0 to 0.20, and a sonic and a supersonic primary nozzle. Results regarding drag and pumping characteristics are provided.

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Effect of Spin-Recovery Rockets and Thrust Simulation on the Recovery Characteristics of a 1/21-Scale Model of the Chance Vought F7U-3 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 3103 (open access)

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Effect of Spin-Recovery Rockets and Thrust Simulation on the Recovery Characteristics of a 1/21-Scale Model of the Chance Vought F7U-3 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 3103

From Summary: "An investigation of a 1/21-scale model of the Chance Vought F7U-3 airplane in the combat-loading condition has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The recovery characteristics of the model were determined by use of spin-recovery rockets for the erect and inverted spinning condition. The rockets were so placed as to provide either a yawing or rolling moment about the model center of gravity. Also included in the investigation were tests to determine the effect of simulated engine thrust on the recovery characteristics of the model."
