Two-dimensional wind-tunnel investigation of a 6-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil section with leading-edge and trailing-edge high-lift devices deflected in combination (open access)

Two-dimensional wind-tunnel investigation of a 6-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil section with leading-edge and trailing-edge high-lift devices deflected in combination

Report presenting a two-dimensional wind-tunnel investigation of a 6-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil with leading-edge and trailing-edge high-lift devices. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the effects on maximum section lift coefficient of different leading-edge slats and drooped-nose flaps when used in combination with a plain trailing-edge flap. Results regarding slat configuration, drooped-nose-flap configurations, and a comparison of slat and drooped-nose-flap configurations are provided.

Performance of single-stage compressor designed on basis of constant total enthalpy with symmetrical velocity diagram at all radii and velocity ratio of 0.7 at rotor hub (open access)

Performance of single-stage compressor designed on basis of constant total enthalpy with symmetrical velocity diagram at all radii and velocity ratio of 0.7 at rotor hub

A typical inlet axial-flow compressor inlet stage, which was designed on the basis of constant total enthalpy with symmetrical velocity diagram at all radii, was investigated. At a tip speed of 1126 feet per second, a peak pressure ratio of 1.28 was obtained at an efficiency of 0.76. At a tip speed, the highest practical flow was 28 pounds per second per square foot frontal area with an efficiency of 0.78. Data for a rotor relative inlet Mach number range of from 0.5 to 0.875 indicates that the critical value for any stage radial element is approximately 0.80 for the stage investigated.

Transonic-Wing Investigation in the Langley 8-Foot High-Speed Tunnel at High Subsonic Mach Numbers and at a Mach Number of 1.2: Analysis of Pressure Distribution of Wing-Fuselage Configuration Having a Wing of 45 Degrees Sweptback, Aspect Ratio 4, Taper Ratio 0.6, and NACA 65A006 Airfoil Section (open access)

Transonic-Wing Investigation in the Langley 8-Foot High-Speed Tunnel at High Subsonic Mach Numbers and at a Mach Number of 1.2: Analysis of Pressure Distribution of Wing-Fuselage Configuration Having a Wing of 45 Degrees Sweptback, Aspect Ratio 4, Taper Ratio 0.6, and NACA 65A006 Airfoil Section

Report presenting a pressure-distribution investigation in the high-speed tunnel of a wing-fuselage configuration as part of an NACA research program to determine effects of wing geometry on aerodynamic characteristics and to explore the nature of flow over the configuration. Measurements were made on a fuselage and wing-fuselage combination for a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding accuracy, figures of pressure distributions, pressure distributions on the wing and fuselage, results at several angles of attack, section loading characteristics, normal-force characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, pressure-drag characteristics, and fuselage skin-friction drag are provided.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Low-Speed Longitudinal and Lateral Control Characteristics of a Triangular-Wing Model of Aspect Ratio 2.31 Having Constant-Chord Control Surfaces (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Low-Speed Longitudinal and Lateral Control Characteristics of a Triangular-Wing Model of Aspect Ratio 2.31 Having Constant-Chord Control Surfaces

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the low-speed longitudinal and lateral control characteristics of a model with a triangular wing with NACA 65(06)-006.5 airfoil sections, aspect ratio 2.31, and constant-chord control surfaces. The values of the hinge-moment parameters were found to be of somewhat greater magnitude than would be expected on unswept wings with the same aspect ratio.

Theoretical calculation of the power spectra of the rolling and yawing moments on a wing in random turbulence (open access)

Theoretical calculation of the power spectra of the rolling and yawing moments on a wing in random turbulence

The correlation functions and power spectra of the rolling and yawing moments on an airplane wing due to the three components of continuous random turbulence are calculated. The rolling moments to the longitudinal (horizontal) and normal (vertical) components depend on the spanwise distributions of instantaneous gust intensity, which are taken into account by using the inherent properties of symmetry of isotropic turbulence. The results consist of expressions for correlation functions or spectra of the rolling moment in terms of the point correlation functions of the two components of turbulence.
