Aerodynamic characteristics and flying qualities of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration as obtained from flights of rocket-propelled models at transonic and supersonic speeds (open access)

Aerodynamic characteristics and flying qualities of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration as obtained from flights of rocket-propelled models at transonic and supersonic speeds

Report discussing a flight investigation of rocket-powered models of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration was made through the transonic and low supersonic speed range at the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Station at Wallops Island, Va. An analysis of the aerodynamic coefficients, stability derivatives, and flying qualities based on the results obtained from the successful flight tests of three models is presented.

An analytical investigation of airplane spin-recovery motion by use of rotary-balance aerodynamic data (open access)

An analytical investigation of airplane spin-recovery motion by use of rotary-balance aerodynamic data

From Introduction: "Many investigations have been made in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel in which the natures of airplane spins and recoveries have been determined experimentally with dynamically scaled-down models. The results of some of these investigations are presented in references 1 to 5."

An Analytical Investigation of the Effect of the Rate of Increase of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in the Stream Direction on the Development of Turbulent Boundary Layers in Adverse Pressure Gradients (open access)

An Analytical Investigation of the Effect of the Rate of Increase of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in the Stream Direction on the Development of Turbulent Boundary Layers in Adverse Pressure Gradients

"The purpose of this paper is to provide a derivation of the general integral form of the boundary equation without neglecting the Reynolds normal-stress term. Two special cases of this equation are given explicitly" (p. 2).

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds (open access)

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds

From Introduction: "In the present paper, the variation of effective gust velocity in convective-type clouds with altitude is investigated. Data obtained during 1941 and 1942 at altitudes up to 34,000 feet and data obtained more recently from the Thunderstorm Project (reference 5) at altitudes up to 26,000 feet are utilized for this purpose. Consideration is given in analyzing the results both to data for the range

Analysis of the Ultimate Strength and Optimum Proportions of Multiweb Wing Structures (open access)

Analysis of the Ultimate Strength and Optimum Proportions of Multiweb Wing Structures

From Introduction: "The results are presented in the form of a structural-efficiency chart where minimum structural weight is plotted as a function of the structural index for constant values of the ratio of wing depth to skin thickness."
