Apparent Effect of Inlet Temperature on Adiabatic Efficiency of Centrifugal Compressors (open access)

Apparent Effect of Inlet Temperature on Adiabatic Efficiency of Centrifugal Compressors

From Introduction: "The results of varying only Reynolds number for several equivalent tip speeds are presented and probable reasons for the apparent variation of adiabatic efficiency with inlet temperature are discussed."

An analysis of the airspeeds and normal accelerations of Martin M-130 airplanes in commercial transport operation (open access)

An analysis of the airspeeds and normal accelerations of Martin M-130 airplanes in commercial transport operation

From Introduction: "Acceleration and airspeed data obtained from V-G records collected during commercial transport operations (references 1 and 2) are being analyzed in some detail to determine the flight loads and operating speeds as functions of airplane, route, season, and prewar and wartime operations."

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds (open access)

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds

From Introduction: "In the present paper, the variation of effective gust velocity in convective-type clouds with altitude is investigated. Data obtained during 1941 and 1942 at altitudes up to 34,000 feet and data obtained more recently from the Thunderstorm Project (reference 5) at altitudes up to 26,000 feet are utilized for this purpose. Consideration is given in analyzing the results both to data for the range
