"Aerodynamic forces and moments have been obtained in the Langley 9- by 12-inch blowdown tunnel on an external store and on a 45 degree swept-back wing-body combination measured separately at Mach numbers from 0.70 to 1.96. The wing was cantilevered and had an aspect ratio of 4.0; the store was independently sting-mounted and had a Douglas Aircraft Co. (DAC) store shape. The angle of attack range was from -3 degrees to 12 degrees and the Reynolds number (based on wing mean aerodynamic chord) varied from 1.2 x10(6) to 1.7 x 10(6)" (p. 1).

From abstract: "Plamons (plasma-magnetic entities) are toroidal "packages" of plasma wrapped up in their own magnetic field. Experimental evidence for the existence of plasmons is adduced and theoretical considerations concerning their various types and their stability are discussed."

Report presenting an experimental airplane crash in order to study the performance of a prototype crash-fire inerting system for reciprocating-engine-powered airplanes. A fire did not occur during this crash, indicating that the crash-fire inerting system functioned satisfactorily as a complete unit. Further improvements in the crash-fire system are also provided.

"A wind-tunnel investigation was made to determine the effects of ejecting high-velocity air near the leading edge of plain trailing-edge flaps on a 35 degree sweptback wing. The tests were made with flap deflections from 45 degrees to 85 degrees and with pressure ratios across the flap nozzles from sub-critical up to 2.9. A limited study of the effects of nozzle location and configuration on the efficiency of the flap was made. Measurements of the lift, drag, and pitching moment were made for Reynolds numbers from 5.8 to 10.1x10(6)" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation in the 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine the lateral-control effectiveness of differentially deflected horizontal-tail surfaces mounted behind a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination. The effectiveness of the differentially deflected horizontal tail as a lateral-control device was found to be essentially independent of angle of attack and Mach number even in the transonic region. Results regarding the effects of differential deflection of horizontal-tail surfaces and effects of the vertical tail are provided.
