Generalized selection charts for bombers powered by two, four, and six 3000-horsepower engines (open access)

Generalized selection charts for bombers powered by two, four, and six 3000-horsepower engines

Report presenting a study of the performance of bombers powered by two, four, and six 3000-horsepower engines supercharged to 35,000 feet. The performances are computed and are based on drag coefficients equal to the best obtained on modern airplanes and on weight estimates obtained from modern Army Air Forces airplanes. A chart is provided with the coordinates of power loading and wing loading noted so that all performances can be compared.

Supplement using data from a previous report to show the cargo that can be carried at various ranges, pounds of cargo that can be carried per pound of fuel, and other graphs to simplify the problem of determining which cargo can be carried at any range. The assumptions, parameters, and equations from the original report are carried over in the supplement.

Aerodynamic Tests of an M-31 Bomb in the 8-Foot High-Speed Tunnel

Report presenting aerodynamic tests of a 300-pound M-31 demolition bomb. Force tests at a range of angles of attack were made at Mach number 0.725, which corresponds to a speed of 810 feet per second at sea level. Results regard the drag, lift, and pitching moment are provided.
