Fabrication and Properties of Hot-Pressed Molybdenum Disilicide

Report presenting an investigation of hot-pressed molbdenum disilicide bodies produced by industrial processes at a temperature of 2950 degrees and a pressure of 3000 pounds per square inch. Results regarding the short-time tensile strength, stress-rupture data, compression strength, air-corrosion resistance, hardness, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and density are provided.

Wing-dropping characteristics of some straight and swept wings at transonic speeds as determined with rocket-powered models (open access)

Wing-dropping characteristics of some straight and swept wings at transonic speeds as determined with rocket-powered models

Report presenting data gathered on a lateral-trim change or wing dropping that involves a rapid change of lateral trim with Mach number, which has occurred on several rocket-powered models used in roll investigations at transonic speeds. The data in this report demonstrates that straight wings with airfoil sections 9 percent thick or greater are susceptible to wing dropping between Mach numbers of 0.9 and 1.0. Results for straight, sweptback, and delta wings are provided.

Flight Investigation of the Aileron Characteristics of the Douglas D-558-I Airplane (BuAero No. 37972) at Mach Numbers Between 0.6 and 0.89 (open access)

Flight Investigation of the Aileron Characteristics of the Douglas D-558-I Airplane (BuAero No. 37972) at Mach Numbers Between 0.6 and 0.89

"Abrupt, rudder-fixed aileron rolls have been made with the Douglas D-558-I airplane (BuAero No. 37972) at Mach numbers between 0.6 and 0.89. Rolls were made at aileron deflections between one-eighth and one-half the maximum available deflection. The results obtained indicate that the aileron effectiveness is independent of Mach number and deflection within the range investigated" (p. 1).
