Effect of Inlet Temperature on Rotating Stall and Blade Vibrations in a Multistage Axial-Flow Compressor (open access)

Effect of Inlet Temperature on Rotating Stall and Blade Vibrations in a Multistage Axial-Flow Compressor

Report presenting rotating-stall and blade-vibration data for the first three rotor blade rows of a 13-stage axial-flow compressor at several inlet temperatures. Stall patterns of 1 through 5 stall zones were detected at all inlet temperatures in the equivalent compressor speed ranges between 4600 and 6200 rpm.

Flight Measurements of the Lateral Response Characteristics of the Convair XF-92A Delta-Wing Airplane (open access)

Flight Measurements of the Lateral Response Characteristics of the Convair XF-92A Delta-Wing Airplane

Memorandum presenting rudder pulse maneuvers obtained with the Convair XF-92A delta-wing research airplane at an altitude of about 30,000 feet over a Mach number range of 0.52 to 0.92. Tests were made with and without a wing fence. By analyzing the maneuvers, the characteristics of the airplane transient, airplane stability derivatives, and frequency-response characteristics were measured.

Stall and flame-out resulting from firing of armament (open access)

Stall and flame-out resulting from firing of armament

Report presenting an analysis of the causes of compressor stall and flame-out when armament is fired during flight at high altitudes. Experimental data are also presented. The increase in compressor-inlet temperature during armament firing was found to be the most important single factor affecting engine performance.

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).
