XC-35 Gust Research Project Analysis of Gust Measurements

Report discusses measurements of gust size and intensity during the spring and summer of 1941 and 1942 under a variety of weather conditions and various altitudes up to 34,000 feet. Information about average gust-gradient distance, gust velocities, and gust frequency is included.

XC-35 Gust Research Project Operation in Cumulus Congestus Cloud on July 31, 1941 Maximum Gust Intensities

"On July 31, 1941 a turbulence survey was made with the XC-35 airplane of a large cumulus congestus cloud near Langley Field, Va. This bulletin presents a general description of conditions and the maximum gust intensities recorded during the flight" (p. 1).

The zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body combination (AGARD model 2) obtained from free-flight tests between Mach numbers of 0.8 and 1.7 (open access)

The zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body combination (AGARD model 2) obtained from free-flight tests between Mach numbers of 0.8 and 1.7

From Summary: "The zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body combination (designated AGARD model 2) has been determined by free-flight tests of two models between Mach numbers of 0.8 and 1.7. These Mach numbers correspond to Reynolds numbers, based on body length, of 4 x 10(exp 6) and 12 x 10(exp 6), respectively. An estimate of the drag of the configuration was made by summing the estimates of the drag of the various components. The agreement between measured and estimated drag is good."

The zero-lift drag of a slender body of revolution (NACA RM-10 research model) as determined from tests in several wind tunnels and in flight at supersonic speeds (open access)

The zero-lift drag of a slender body of revolution (NACA RM-10 research model) as determined from tests in several wind tunnels and in flight at supersonic speeds

Presents zero-lift drag data of an NACA RM-10 slender body of revolution with and without stabilizing fins attached. The results from several wind tunnels and in flight are compared. The results cover a Reynolds number range from about 1 time 10 to the 6th power to 40 times 10 to the 6th power for the flight models. The Mach numbers covered include 1.5 to 2.4 in the wind tunnels and 0.85 to 2.5 in flight.

The zero-lift drag of a slender body of revolution (NACA RM-10 research model) as determined from tests in several wind tunnels and in flight at supersonic speeds

From Summary: "The results of tests of a slender body of revolution designated the NACA rm-10 have been compiled from various NACA test facilities. Zero-lift drag data are presented for a Reynolds number range from about 1 x 10(6) to 40 x 10(6) from several wind tunnels and from about 12 x 10(6) to 140 x 10(6) from free-flight tests. The Mach numbers covered include 1.5 to 2.4 for the wind-tunnel data and 0.85 to 2.5 for the flight results. The wind tunnel models were tested with and without 60 degree sweptback stabilizing fins and the flight models were tested with stabilizing fins."
