Analysis of a thermal ice-prevention system for wing leading-edge landing-light installations (open access)

Analysis of a thermal ice-prevention system for wing leading-edge landing-light installations

From Introduction: "A typical ice formation on a wing leading-edge-type light installation is shown in figure 1. Although the primary purpose of this analytic investigation was to determine the practicability of providing a landing-light thermal ice-prevention system which could be incorporated with the wing leading-edge thermal ice-prevention system of the B-17 F airplane, the analysis has been developed in a general form for future application to similar deigns.

Collection of Balanced-Aileron Test Data (open access)

Collection of Balanced-Aileron Test Data

"Test data of balanced ailerons have been collected from NACA and British sources. These data, which are presented in the form of charts, are grouped as A - ailerons with Frise balances, B - ailerons with blunt-nose balances, C - ailerons with internal balances, D - ailerons with contour modifications, and E - ailerons with tabs. Results of flight tests and of wind-tunnel tests in both two- and three-dimensional flow are presented but no correlation nor resume of the data has been included" (p. 1).

Comparison of an approximate and an exact method of shear-lag analysis

Report presenting comparisons between the approximate substitute single-stringer method of shear-lag analysis and the exact solutions, which indicate that for beams of practical proportions the approximate method yields a value for the maximum root stress that exceeds the value obtained by use of the exact solution by less than 10 percent.

Compressible potential flow with circulation about a circular cylinder

Report presenting the potential function for flow, with circulation, of a compressible fluid about a circular cylinder, which is obtained in series form including terms of the order of M(exp 4) where M is the Mach number of the free stream. The equations are used to obtain pressure coefficient as a function of Mach number at a point on the surface of the cylinder for different values of circulation.

Compressive Strength of Corrugated-Sheet-Stiffened Panels for Consolidated XB-36 Airplane

"Compression tests were made of 63 panels stiffened with corrugated sheet. The specimens were constructed from artificially aged alclad 24S-T aluminum alloy with minimum guaranteed yield strengths of 57 and 48 kips per square inch for the flat- and corrugated-sheet materials, respectively. Results of the tests are presented in charts which show the average stresses at the maximum load and at buckling of the sheet" (p. 1).

Determination of the Effect of Wing Flexibility on Lateral Maneuverability and a Comparison of Calculated Rolling Effectiveness With Flight Results (open access)

Determination of the Effect of Wing Flexibility on Lateral Maneuverability and a Comparison of Calculated Rolling Effectiveness With Flight Results

Report presenting an analysis which shows that, when account is taken of sideslip and wing flexibility, the calculated rolling maneuverability of an airplane is in good agreement with the results obtained from flight tests. The method used avoids the complications of successive approximations but is nevertheless believed to be more nearly accurate than other methods based on semirigid-wing assumptions. The method is applied to a wing of tubular shell construction and the procedure is illustrated for a modern pursuit airplane.

Determination of the Stresses Produced by the Landing Impact in the Bulkheads of a Seaplane Bottom (open access)

Determination of the Stresses Produced by the Landing Impact in the Bulkheads of a Seaplane Bottom

"The present report deals with the determination of the impact stresses in the bulkhead floors of a seaplane bottom. The dynamic problem is solved on the assumption of a certain elastic system, the floor being assumed as a weightless elastic beam with concentrated masses at the ends (due to the mass of the float) and with a spring which replaces the elastic action of the keel in the center. The distributed load on the floor is that due to the hydrodynamic force acting over a certain portion of the bottom" (p. 1).
