Investigation of the Effect of Balancing Tabs on the Hinge-Moment Characteristics of a Trailing-Edge Flap-Type Control on a Trapezoidal Wing at a Mach Number of 1.61 (open access)

Investigation of the Effect of Balancing Tabs on the Hinge-Moment Characteristics of a Trailing-Edge Flap-Type Control on a Trapezoidal Wing at a Mach Number of 1.61

Report presenting an investigation at Mach number 1.61 to determine the effect of 10-percent control are attached tabs on the hinge-moment characteristics of a trailing-edge flap-type control on a trapezoidal wing with a 23 degree sweptback leading edge, aspect ratio of 3.1, and taper ratio of 0.4. Results regarding hinge-moment coefficients, tab parameters, and control effectiveness are provided.

Comparison Between Theoretical and Experimental Rates of Roll of Two Models with Flexible Rectangular Wings at Supersonic Speeds (open access)

Comparison Between Theoretical and Experimental Rates of Roll of Two Models with Flexible Rectangular Wings at Supersonic Speeds

"A comparison is presented between the experimentally measured and theoretically calculated (by the method of NACA TN 3067) rates of roll of two rocket-propelled models with flexible rectangular wings. The comparisons show that although there are large aeroelastic losses in rolling rate, the theory predicts the actual rate of roll accurately" (p. 1).

Analysis of rocket, ramjet, and turbojet engines for supersonic propulsion of long-range missiles. 3:  Ramjet engine performance (open access)

Analysis of rocket, ramjet, and turbojet engines for supersonic propulsion of long-range missiles. 3: Ramjet engine performance

Report presenting ramjet engine performance data over a range of engine design variables to permit selection and evaluation of a ramjet engine configuration for a long-range supersonic missile. Results include engine thrust, drag, fuel consumption, area ratios, and weight, and are suitable for use in design studies of missiles incorporating either internally or externally mounted ramjet engines.

Aerodynamic characteristics of several tip controls on a 60 degree wing at a Mach number of 1.61 (open access)

Aerodynamic characteristics of several tip controls on a 60 degree wing at a Mach number of 1.61

Report presenting an investigation at a Mach number of 1.61 to determine the control effectiveness characteristics of seven tip controls on a 60 degree delta wing. Pressure distribution measurements were made for a range of angles of attack and control deflections. Results regarding the effect of control deflection, effect of wing angle of attack, effect of hinge-line location, effect of fences, and effect of control size and location are provided.
