This monthly report details Engineering Department technical activities for the month of May 1947.

The object of this project is to reduce the impurities and raise the density of rejected slugs and briquetted turnings from these slugs by recasting the material. Summary and conclusions are (1) slugs and briquettes made from turnings produced when these slugs were machined can be recast with great improvement in quality; (2) casting this material is quite hard on graphite crucibles, but a long-range program might point the way to better graphite usage; (3) this metal run alone gives fair yields (88.8% to 94.8%) if heated to 2500 F and then cooled to 2400 F before pouring. Mixing with virgin metal improves the final quality, but does not materially increase the yield; (4) briquettes should not be mixed with magnesium before recasting.

Abstract: Test distillations were made with Kinney and diffusion pump oils under vacuum in order to determine accurately the temperature range over which satisfactory distillate may be collected. Also recommendations are made as to the most advisable type of heating equipment necessary to produce the required heat and maintain the desired temperature. In addition, several important refinements in the distillation equipment were checked for operational characteristics and for their efficiency in aiding the production of uranium-free distillates.

"An investigation has been made at large scale of the characteristics of highly swept wings. Data were obtained at several angles of sideslip on wings having angles of sweep of plus or minus 45 degrees, plus or minus 30 degrees, and 0 degrees. The airfoil sections of the wings varied from approximately NACA 0015 at the root to NACA 23009 at the tip. Each wing was investigated with flaps under flection, partial-span split flaps deflected 60 degrees, full-span split flaps defected 60 degrees and split-flap-type ailerons deflected plus or minus 15 degrees" (p. 1).

"Flight tests have been made with a P-51D airplane to determine the effect of chordwise vanes on the amplitude of tail buffeting. The tests made during abrupt pull-ups to the buffeting boundary included strain measurements on wing and tail and tuft studies over the wing. The results indicate that the vanes tested have no appreciable effect on the amplitude of tail buffeting" (p. 1).

Report presenting the application of simple sampling procedures to gust data obtained from P-61 thunderstorm flights in Orlando, Florida. The results demonstrated that the observed values of maximum effective gust velocities tend to be functions of the record distance of cloud survey.

Report presenting a study of the characteristics of a large-scale triangular wing to include the effects of section modifications. The wing in this report is the same as the one in the previous report but features various degrees of rounding of the wing leading edge and wing maximum thickness rather than having sharp edges. Results regarding the effects of airfoil section modifications, visible trailing vortices, and surveys in the extended chord plane are provided.

Report presenting airspeed and altitude data obtained from Lockheed Constellation airplanes flying between New York and San Francisco during May and June of 1946 in order to determine the probability of reaching or exceeding given values of airspeed and Mach number. Analysis indicated that the total probability of exceeding the placard "never extend" speed depends primarily on the probability of exceeding this speed in descent. The probability of exceeding the critical Mach number is very negligible.

From Introduction: "Experimental investigations (reference 1) have shown that in some cases the thrust can be more than doubled by means of tail-pipe burning. A comparison is made of a standard turbojet engine, whose thrust is augmented by tail-pipe burning, and a ram-jet engine. The performance characteristics for the ram-jet engine were computed entirely from theoretical considerations and on the assumption that the burner-inlet velocity was constant."

Report presenting testing of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics in yaw of a 42 degree sweptback wing of circular-arc airfoil sections in the pressure tunnel. The wing had an aspect ratio of 3.94, taper ratio of 0.625, and no dihedral or twist. Results regarding lateral-stability parameters of plain wing, effect of wing flaps on lateral-stability parameters, effect of fuselage on lateral-stability parameters, a comparison with the NACA 64(sub 1)-112 wing, characteristics in the extended yaw range, and airflow characteristics in the region of a vertical tail are provided.
