Memorandum presenting a theoretical analysis of the supersonic flow about two-dimensional and three-dimensional axially symmetric models restricted by theoretical walls capable of removing the nose shock. Results regarding the supersonic-tunnel interference due to nonreflecting walls and supersonic-tunnel interference due to porous walls are provided.

Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted to measure and compare the total-pressure recovery and distortion characteristics at the compressor face of two single-place fighter-type airplanes with similar two-spool turbojet engines, but with dissimilar inlets. The total-pressure recovery was relatively independent of angle of attack and mass-flow ratio for both airplanes except for a significant decrease in pressure recovery with angle of attack for airplane B at the highest Mach numbers tested.

Report presenting an investigation to determine the longitudinal characteristics of an airplane model with a thin, highly swept and tapered wing of low aspect ratio equipped with plain leading-edge flaps in conjunction with blowing-type boundary-layer control applied to flap radius. Several leading-edge configurations and boundary-layer control system variables were also investigated.

Report presenting an investigation to measure and to compare the total-pressure recovery and distortion characteristics at the compressor face of two single-place fighter-type airplanes with similar two-spool turbo-jet engines, but with dissimilar inlets. Results regarding compressor-face total-pressure surveys and surges encountered are provided.

Report presenting an investigation to determine some effects of surface roughness on heat transfer at the stagnation point. Testing occurred in the ceramic-heated jet laboratory model at a Mach number of 2, a stagnation temperature of 3,530 degrees Fahrenheit, and a stream Reynolds number of 2.5 x 10(exp 6) per foot. Results regarding the variation of stagnation-point heat-transfer coefficient with surface roughness, heat transfer at the stagnation point of a hemisphere, and heat-transfer coefficient are provided.

Memorandum presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of forebody strakes on the aerodynamic characteristics in sideslip of a delta-wing airplane model at Mach number of 2.01. The presence of the strakes increased the directional-stability level for both vertical-tail arrangements. Results of pressure tunnels for a forebody show that the presence of the strakes provides a stabilizing influence on the forebody which is consistent with the results of force tests.

Results regarding the supersonic-tunnel interference due to nonreflecting walls and supersonic-tunnel interference due to porous walls are provided.

Report presenting lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics for a wing-body combination for a range of Mach numbers. The wing had an aspect ratio of 3.1, a sweepback of the leading edge of 19.1 degrees, a taper ratio of 0.39, and a biconvex profile with a thickness of 3 percent of the chord. Results regarding aerodynamic characteristics and visual-flow studies are provided.

Report describing equipment that can be used to shock-compress air by helium to 3660 degrees Rankine to generate a 6500-foot-per-second air stream with a flow duration of 40 milliseconds. The influence of yaw on rates of heat transfer to the same circular cylinders was investigated at angles of yaw up to 70 degrees.

Memorandum presenting a flight investigation to determine the thrust and pumping characteristics of a family of aircraft exhaust ejectors. Information was obtained on the variation of these characteristics with changes in engine power, flight Mach number, and ejector spacing ratio, and these results were compared to small-scale tests. Results were also obtained showing how a swinging survey probe can be used as a device for calibrating a tail-pipe pressure probe for the measurement of thrust and air flow.

Report presenting the static and dynamic-rotary stability derivatives for an airplane with an unswept wing and a high horizontal tail as determined in wind-tunnel tests at 3 Mach numbers. The tail contribution to stability was found to not be predicted by the simplified theoretical methods used in this report. Results regarding the longitudinal derivatives, sideslip derivatives, yawing derivatives, rolling derivatives, and variation of static derivatives with Mach number.

From Introduction: "Wind-tunnel and flight tests have shown that conical leading-edge camber on a thin low-aspect-ratio delta wing results in increasing the lift-drag ratio at transonic and low supersonic speeds (refs. 1 and 2). References 3 and 4 present the results of two previous investigations of this general program. A more detailed analysis of the pressure distributions of reference 5 is presented herein in terms of total section loads and overall wing-body characteristics."

From Summary: "An investigation was conducted to determine the longitudinal characteristics of an airplane model with a 35 degree swept wing of aspect ratio 7 and four pylon-mounted nacelles. Several leading-edge configurations were studied in conjunction with double-slotted trailing-edge flaps. Three-component longitudinal data are presented. In general, the test Reynolds number was about 4.8 x 10(exp 6), but for selected configurations, data for Reynolds number ranges from 2.8 to 8 x 10(exp 6) are included."

Report presenting the results of an investigation of the dynamic stability and controllability of a proposed supersonic-cruise, vertical-take-off-and-landing airplane configuration with a tilting wing and engines. The configuration tested was found to have satisfactory take-off, landing, and hovering characteristics. Information about transition flight, including stability and control characteristics, is provided.
