Static tests of a shrouded and an unshrouded propeller (open access)

Static tests of a shrouded and an unshrouded propeller

Report presenting outdoor static testing made on two high-solidity propellers of different design, one shrouded and the other unshrouded. Three shrouds were tested to determine the effects of shroud length and exit area. Results regarding the action of shroud, results and comparison of propellers, and comparison with theory are provided.

Flight Tests to Determine the Effect of Airfoil Section Profile and Thickness Ratio on the Zero-Lift Drag of Low-Aspect-Ratio Wings at Supersonic Speeds (open access)

Flight Tests to Determine the Effect of Airfoil Section Profile and Thickness Ratio on the Zero-Lift Drag of Low-Aspect-Ratio Wings at Supersonic Speeds

Report discussing flight tests of airplane-like models to determine the effect of airfoil section profile and thickness ratio on the zero-lift drag of low-aspect-ratio wings at supersonic speeds. Five rectangular wings with the same aspect ratio and a variety of airfoil thicknesses were tested to determine the effect of thickness ratio.
