Aerodynamic characteristics at transonic speeds of a 69 degree delta wing with a triangular plan-form control having a skewed hinge axis and an overhang balance: transonic-bump method (open access)

Aerodynamic characteristics at transonic speeds of a 69 degree delta wing with a triangular plan-form control having a skewed hinge axis and an overhang balance: transonic-bump method

From Introduction: "Presented in this paper are the results of an investigation of a semispan model of a delta wing with 60^o sweepback at the leading edge which was equipped with a large triangular control having an overhang balance mounted on a skewed hinge axis. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a delta wing with a control which was designed to provide aerodynamic balance at zero control deflection based on the span load distribution of reference 1."

Aerodynamic characteristics including pressure distribution of a fuselage and three combinations of the fuselage with swept-back wings at high subsonic speeds (open access)

Aerodynamic characteristics including pressure distribution of a fuselage and three combinations of the fuselage with swept-back wings at high subsonic speeds

From Introduction: "The wings were tested in combination with fuselage similar to the one used in the 7- by 10-foot wind-tunnel investigations. The results are reported herein and are compared with results for three similar model wings on the transonic bump (references 1, 2, and 3)."

Altitude-test-chamber investigation of performance of a 28-inch ram-jet engine 3: combustion and operational performance of three flame holders with a center pilot burner (open access)

Altitude-test-chamber investigation of performance of a 28-inch ram-jet engine 3: combustion and operational performance of three flame holders with a center pilot burner

Report presenting a direct-connect altitude test chamber investigation of the combustion performance of a 28-inch-diameter ramjet engine with a can-type center pilot burner. Combustion-chamber configurations with three different flame holders were investigated at a simulated flight Mach number of 2.0 and several different altitudes.

Static longitudinal stability and dynamic characteristics at high angles of attack and at low Reynolds numbers of a model of the X-3 supersonic research airplane (open access)

Static longitudinal stability and dynamic characteristics at high angles of attack and at low Reynolds numbers of a model of the X-3 supersonic research airplane

Report presenting an investigation in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel to determine the motions and trim conditions from 0 to 90 degrees angle of attack for the X-3 airplane, which is a supersonic airplane with an extremely long nose and s mall wing. Testing was conducted on several scales of models and component parts. Results from dynamic and static tests are provided.
