Preliminary Experimental Investigation of Flutter Characteristics of M and W Wings

Report presenting the results of nine experimental flutter tests involving two flat-plate models and two rib and spar models of NACA 0012 airfoil sections in order to give a comparison of the flutter characteristics of wings with M and W type plan forms. The W plan form generally gave higher flutter speeds than the M plan forms.

Comparison of airfoil sections on two triangular-wing-fuselage configurations at transonic speeds from tests by the NACA wing-flow method (open access)

Comparison of airfoil sections on two triangular-wing-fuselage configurations at transonic speeds from tests by the NACA wing-flow method

Report presenting tests using the NACA wing-flow method at a range of Mach numbers to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of four triangular-wing-fuselage models. Measurements of the normal force, chord force, and pitching moment for various angles of attack. Two models had wings of aspect ratio 2.31, one with an NACA 65-009 airfoil section and one with a 9-percent-thick biconvex section, and two with wings of aspect ratio 4, one with an NACA 65-006 airfoil and one with a 6-percent-thick double-wedge airfoil.

The Pressures and Temperatures Developed During the Reduction of Uranium Tetrafluoride by the Bomb Method (open access)

The Pressures and Temperatures Developed During the Reduction of Uranium Tetrafluoride by the Bomb Method

The pressure and temperature cycles developed during the bomb reduction of uranium tetrafluoride by calcium have been determined. Data for the 250, 500, and 1000 gram scale reductions are given, and the apparatus used is described.
