Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the combustion properties of aluminum as a fuel for use in high-speed aircraft. The aluminum fuel was injected both in powder and wire form into 2-inch-diameter ramjet-type combustors. Results regarding operational problems, thrust, and combustion efficiency are provided.

Report presenting testing conducted to determine the force and pressure-recovery characteristics of a model utilizing a single-shock spike-type inlet with a perforated cowl. The use of the cowl resulted in the attainment of a high pressure recovery at zero angle of attack, but it was accompanied by a relatively large increase in external drag as compared with nonperforated inlets of the same proportions. Results regarding the characteristics at zero angle of attack, effects of changes in angle of attack and Mach number, and performance of perforations are provided.
