An Analysis of Ramjet Engines Using Supersonic Combustion (open access)

An Analysis of Ramjet Engines Using Supersonic Combustion

From Introduction: "The concept of supersonic combustion is by no means new, although little work appears to have been published on the subject. For example, an analysis of supersonic combustion to provide lift under a wing is given in reference 1. Reference 2 discusses applications to hypersonic ramjets being studied at the University of Michigan."

Abnormal grain growth in nickel-base heat-resistant alloys (open access)

Abnormal grain growth in nickel-base heat-resistant alloys

From Introduction: "The data included in this report for Nimonic 80A alloy, for instance, represent experiments carried out to help clarify a production problem of grain-size control in an alloy which has been extensively used. The general procedure of the investigation was to carry out controlled laboratory experiments on samples of bar stock to find conditions of heating and hot-working which resulted in abnormal grain growth."

Aerodynamic characteristics and flying qualities of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration as obtained from flights of rocket-propelled models at transonic and supersonic speeds (open access)

Aerodynamic characteristics and flying qualities of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration as obtained from flights of rocket-propelled models at transonic and supersonic speeds

Report discussing a flight investigation of rocket-powered models of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration was made through the transonic and low supersonic speed range at the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Station at Wallops Island, Va. An analysis of the aerodynamic coefficients, stability derivatives, and flying qualities based on the results obtained from the successful flight tests of three models is presented.

Analysis of the Ultimate Strength and Optimum Proportions of Multiweb Wing Structures (open access)

Analysis of the Ultimate Strength and Optimum Proportions of Multiweb Wing Structures

From Introduction: "The results are presented in the form of a structural-efficiency chart where minimum structural weight is plotted as a function of the structural index for constant values of the ratio of wing depth to skin thickness."

Acoustic radiation from two-dimensional rectangular cutouts in aerodynamic surfaces (open access)

Acoustic radiation from two-dimensional rectangular cutouts in aerodynamic surfaces

From Introduction: "The experiments in high-speed flow showed that an intense, high-frequency acoustic radiation is an essential feature of the problem. Consequently, a study of the acoustic field (involving schlieren observations and frequency and intensity measurements) was undertaken. This report presents the salient features of the study, which was mainly exploratory."

An analytical investigation of airplane spin-recovery motion by use of rotary-balance aerodynamic data (open access)

An analytical investigation of airplane spin-recovery motion by use of rotary-balance aerodynamic data

From Introduction: "Many investigations have been made in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel in which the natures of airplane spins and recoveries have been determined experimentally with dynamically scaled-down models. The results of some of these investigations are presented in references 1 to 5."

Aerodynamics of slender wings and wing-body combinations having swept trailing edges (open access)

Aerodynamics of slender wings and wing-body combinations having swept trailing edges

From Introduction: "In the present paper, a general method is developed for solving low-aspect-ratio problems involving shed vortex sheets. Both direct and inverse problems are considered. The method is applicable for all planar problems where the velocity boundary conditions can be made homogeneous by differentiation in either the streamwise or the spanwise directions."

An Analytical Investigation of the Effect of the Rate of Increase of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in the Stream Direction on the Development of Turbulent Boundary Layers in Adverse Pressure Gradients

"The purpose of this paper is to provide a derivation of the general integral form of the boundary equation without neglecting the Reynolds normal-stress term. Two special cases of this equation are given explicitly" (p. 2).
