Intercooler cooling-air weight flow and pressure drop for minimum drag loss (open access)

Intercooler cooling-air weight flow and pressure drop for minimum drag loss

Report presenting an analysis of the power losses in airplane flight of cross-flow plate and tubular intercoolers to determine the cooling-air weight flow and pressure drop that give minimum total power loss for any given cooling effectiveness. The investigation covers a range of flight conditions of altitude, airspeed, lift-drag ratio, supercharger-pressure ratio, and adiabatic efficiency.

NACA Investigation of a Jet-Propulsion System Applicable to Flight (open access)

NACA Investigation of a Jet-Propulsion System Applicable to Flight

"Following a brief history of the NACA investigation of jet-propulsion, a discussion is given of the general investigation and analyses leading to the construction of the jet-propulsion ground-test mock-up. The results of burning experiments and of test measurements designed to allow quantitative flight-performance predictions of the system are presented and correlated with calculations. These calculations are then used to determine the performance of the system on the ground and in the air at various speeds and altitudes under various burning conditions. The application of the system to an experimental airplane is described and some performance predictions for this airplane are made" (p. 1).

Wind-Tunnel Procedure for Determination of Critical Stability and Control Characteristics of Airplanes (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Procedure for Determination of Critical Stability and Control Characteristics of Airplanes

"This report outlines the flight conditions that are usually critical in determining the design of components of an airplane which affect its stability and control characteristics. The wind-tunnel tests necessary to determine the pertinent data for these conditions are indicated, and the methods of computation used to translate these data into characteristics which define the flying qualities of the airplane are illustrated" (p. 1).

Flight Tests of Several Exhaust-Gas-to-Air Heat Exchangers in the B-17F Airplane (open access)

Flight Tests of Several Exhaust-Gas-to-Air Heat Exchangers in the B-17F Airplane

Report presenting flight testing of seven exhaust-gas-to-air heat exchangers on a B-17F airplane to determine their performance characteristics and to investigate their flame-suppression qualities. Testing was conducted to secure performance data of heat exchangers which might be suitable for use in the thermal ice-prevention and cabin-heating system of the heavy bomber-type airplanes.
