Speed-Brake Investigation at Low Speed of a 1/10-Scale Model of the MX-1554A Airplane With a Circular Jet Nozzle (open access)

Speed-Brake Investigation at Low Speed of a 1/10-Scale Model of the MX-1554A Airplane With a Circular Jet Nozzle

Report discussing an investigation of the effect of curved speed brakes on the drag characteristics and longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a model of the MX-1554A with a circular jet nozzle. The speed brakes were tested at several deflections, gaps, and locations in the landing configuration and clean configuration. Results of a lateral- and directional-stability study due to reduction in the vertical tail area are also provided.

Speed-Brake Investigation at Low Speed of a 1/10-Scale Model of the MX-1554A Airplane With a Circular Jet Nozzle

Memorandum presenting data from an investigation of the effect of curved speed brakes on the drag characteristics and on the longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a scale model of the MX-1554A airplane redesigned to incorporate a circular jet nozzle. The speed brakes were tested at several deflections,gaps, and locations on the landing configuration and the clean configuration.

The Effects of Operating Propellers on the Longitudinal Characteristics at High Subsonic Speeds of a Four-Engine Tractor Airplane Configuration Having a Wing With 40 Degrees of Sweepback and an Aspect Ratio of 10 (open access)

The Effects of Operating Propellers on the Longitudinal Characteristics at High Subsonic Speeds of a Four-Engine Tractor Airplane Configuration Having a Wing With 40 Degrees of Sweepback and an Aspect Ratio of 10

Report presenting an investigation at high subsonic speeds to determine the effects of operating propellers on the longitudinal characteristics of a four-engine tractor airplane with a 40 degree swept wing with an aspect ratio of 10. Testing was conducted at a range of angles of attack, propeller thrust coefficients, Mach numbers, and Reynolds numbers.

Theoretical Study of a Source of Intermediate Energy Neutrons (open access)

Theoretical Study of a Source of Intermediate Energy Neutrons

Abstract. An analysis is made of a proposal to obtain neutrons of 15-25 Kev energy by moderating fast neutrons in aluminum and then reflecting off titanium. The fluxes calculated do not significantly exceed those obtainable from a standard antimony-beryllium photoneutron source. Two appendices treat aspects of the transport of neutrons through a slab of finite thickness.
