Chordwise Load Distribution of a Simple Rectangular Wing (open access)

Chordwise Load Distribution of a Simple Rectangular Wing

The chordwise distribution theory was taken over from the theory of the infinite wing. Since in this work a series expansion in b/t was used, the computation converges only for large aspect ratios. In this paper a useful approximate solution will be found also for wings with large chord - i.e., small aspect ratio.

The Design of Cooling Ducts With Special Reference to the Boundary Layer at the Inlet

"A study has been made of underslung cooling ducts with special references to the problems presented by the boundary layer on the fuselage skin. It was found that good flow can be obtained in such ducts by (1) making the inlet opening of such size that the mean inlet velocity is about 0.6 the free-stream velocity and (2) providing vanes behind as well as ahead of the radiator. Tables to facilitate design are included, together with an example " (p. 1).

Drag Determinations of the Forward Component of a Tricycle Landing Gear (open access)

Drag Determinations of the Forward Component of a Tricycle Landing Gear

"Wind-tunnel tests were performed to determine the drag of the front-wheel arrangements of several types of tricycle landing gear. One wheel was tested in arrangements to simulate both nonretracted and partially retracted types. The landing gears were tested in conjunction with a fuselage, and the effects of wheel extension and longitudinal location were determined" (p. 1).

Extension of Pack Method for Compressive Tests (open access)

Extension of Pack Method for Compressive Tests

"The pack method for determining compressive stress-strain graphs described in NACA Report No. 649 has been modified to extend it's application to thinner gages and stronger materials. The principal modifications consisted in the provision of additional support against instability cementing the specimens of the pack together with fused shellac and the provision of special clamps to hold the specimens together while the test is in progress. The shellac was found to increase the buckling load of the pack without any appreciable effect on the compressive stress-strain graph of the material" (p. 1).

Factors Affecting Heat Transfer in the Internal-Combustion Engine (open access)

Factors Affecting Heat Transfer in the Internal-Combustion Engine

Note presenting a method developed for the direct measurement of the average heat-transfer coefficient from the gases in the cylinder during the cycle of operation of an internal-combustion engine. Experimental measurmeents were made with a heat collector projecting through a spark-plug hole into the combustion chamber of the test engine in order to examine the effects of several engine-operating and design parameters on the mean heat transfer to the collector.

Flow Around Wings Accompanied by Separation of Vortices (open access)

Flow Around Wings Accompanied by Separation of Vortices

The flow around wings computed by the usual method leads in the case of a finite trailing edge to a stagnation point in the trailing edge due to the Kutta-Joukowsky condition of flow governing this region. As a result, the theoretical pressure distribution differs substantially from the experimental values in the vicinity of the trailing edge. The present report describes an alternative method of calculation in which the rear stagnation point no longer appears. The stream leaves the trailing edge tangentially on the pressure side and a similar tangential separation occurs on the suction side of the profile at a point slightly in front of the trailing edge.
