An analysis of the airspeeds and normal accelerations of Martin M-130 airplanes in commercial transport operation (open access)

An analysis of the airspeeds and normal accelerations of Martin M-130 airplanes in commercial transport operation

From Introduction: "Acceleration and airspeed data obtained from V-G records collected during commercial transport operations (references 1 and 2) are being analyzed in some detail to determine the flight loads and operating speeds as functions of airplane, route, season, and prewar and wartime operations."

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds (open access)

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds

From Introduction: "In the present paper, the variation of effective gust velocity in convective-type clouds with altitude is investigated. Data obtained during 1941 and 1942 at altitudes up to 34,000 feet and data obtained more recently from the Thunderstorm Project (reference 5) at altitudes up to 26,000 feet are utilized for this purpose. Consideration is given in analyzing the results both to data for the range

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of thrust augmentation of a turbojet engine IV: performance with tail-pipe burning and water injection (open access)

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of thrust augmentation of a turbojet engine IV: performance with tail-pipe burning and water injection

From Introduction: "Thrust augmentation of an axial-flow-type turbojet engine by burning fuel in the tail pipe is discussed in references 1 to 3. Thrust augmentation of the same turbojet engine by water injection at the compressor inlet is reported in reference 4."

Analysis of variation of piston temperature with piston dimensions and undercrown cooling (open access)

Analysis of variation of piston temperature with piston dimensions and undercrown cooling

From Summary: "A theoretical analysis is presented that permits estimation of the changes in piston-temperature distribution induced by variations in the crown thickness, the ring-groove-pad thickness, and the undercrown surface heat-transfer coefficient. The analysis consists of the calculation of operating temperatures at various points in the piston body on the basis of the experimentally determined surface heat-transfer coefficients and boundary-region temperatures, as well as arbitrarily selected surface coefficients."
