From Introduction: "The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the data for the remaining airplanes where the data were sufficient to warrant analysis. The data analyzed represent totals of 351 to 5660 hours of operations with ten types of Navy airplanes and were recorded during the period 1949 to 1953."

Report presenting testing of a towed airplane model in the 19-foot pressure tunnel in conjunction with the development of a flutter testing technique. The model was equipped with an autopilot to keep the model flying straight and level in the tunnel while restrained only in drag. Results regarding period and cycles to damp to half amplitude, time histories, and motions of the flexible wing model are provided.

From introduction: "The objective of this report is to present the results and describe the tests of both the 2-in. D and 6-in. D contractors using mill pulp feeds. Work on determining resign attrition is also reported. ORNL-CF-52-12-101 described the results of preliminary tests using synthetic ore pulps."

Report presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of various free-flight rocket-model booster-adapter configurations on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip of a swept-wing, fighter airplane model with a Mach number of 2.01. Results regarding the effect of adapter shape and aerodynamic characteristics of the model alone are provided.

Report presenting results of a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of various free-flight rocket-model booster-adapter configurations on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip of a swept-wing, fighter airplane model for a Mach number of 2.01. Normal-force, lateral-force, pitching-moment, and yawing-moment coefficients of the airplane model were measured, and schileren photographs of the various configurations were obtained.

From Summary: "Measurements of pressure distributions have been made over a wing midsemispan station on the 35 degree sweptback wing of the Douglas D-558-II research airplane at Mach numbers from 1.17 to 2.0. The results of the investigation indicate that, as the angle of attack increased at the higher Mach numbers, the pressure coefficient for a vacuum limited the extent to which the upper-surface pressures could expand. Consequently most of the increase in section normal-force coefficient at high angles of attack can be attributed to the increase in pressure over the lower surface."

Preliminary results are presented from an investigation to determine the influence of afterbody geometry on the effects of a sonic propulsive jet at transonic speeds. The results presented are base pressure coefficient and afterbody pressure-drag coefficient as a function of jet pressure ratio for different values of Mach number and jet temperature. Geometric parameters investigated include boattail angle, jet-to-model diameter ratio, and jet-to-base diameter ratio.

Abstract: "The trajectory analysis of an immobilized plasma has been generalized to include the presence of electrons having a far similar radius of gyration and, therefore, fitting readily into the broader scale structure established by the ions. This problem has been adapted to machine calculations and the results for various strengths plasmas have been calculated."

Nickel-plated uranium corrosion samples, 1 inch dia. X 0.180 inch thick, press-clad with 30-mil aluminum at both 10 and 15 thousand psi, show improved corrosion resistance over samples press-clad at 6 thousand psi with the same time-temperature conditions. Design of equipment for the internal cladding of uranium tubes is progressing. The basic tools will be applicable to several variations of the proposed method of {open_quotes}inverse die sinking.{close_quotes} Analyses of double and triple melted Horizons` electrolytic thorium show a significant increase of H{sub 2} and O{sub 2}, upon remelting with a corresponding increase in the hardness of the metal.
