Force Test of a 1/5-Scale Model of the Type GB-5 Controllable Glide Bomb

Report presenting information regarding the development of a type GB-5 controllable glide bomb equipped with a target-seeking device. The model was tested on the six-component balance in order to measure the stability and control characteristics of the bomb in its original condition and with various modifications. Results regarding the effect of end plates on dihedral parameter, effect of vertical-tail arrangement on directional stability, aileron tests, and glide-path control are provided.

F-3 and F-4 Engine Tests of Several High-Antiknock Components of Aviation Fuel

Report discussing testing on triptane, hot-acid octane, diisopropyl, neohexane, mixed xylenes, cumene, benzene, toluene, and methyl tert-butyl ether in several blends to determine their knock-limited performance data in F-3 and F-4 engines at standard operating conditions. All of the blending agents examined were found to be usable, with concentrations varying depending on various thermodynamic properties.
