Response of a Rotating Propeller to Aerodynamic Excitation

"The flexural vibration of a rotating propeller blade with clamped shank is analyzed with the object of presenting, in matrix form, equations for the elastic bending moments in forced vibration resulting from aerodynamic forces applied at a fixed multiple of rotational speed. Matrix equations are also derived which define the critical speeds end mode shapes for any excitation order and the relation between critical speed and blade angle. Reference is given to standard works on the numerical solution of matrix equations of the forms derived" (p. 1).

Aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with unswept quarter-chord line, aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.6, and NACA 65A006 airfoil section (open access)

Aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with unswept quarter-chord line, aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.6, and NACA 65A006 airfoil section

From Introduction: "This paper presents the results of the investigation of the wing-alone and of the wing-fuselage configuration employing a wing with an unswept quarter-chord line, aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.6, and an NACA 65A006 airfoil section parallel to the air stream. The results of closely related sweptback-wing investigations, which are part of the present transonic programs, are presented in references 1 to 3."

The Effect of Span and Deflection of Split Flaps and Leading-Edge Roughness on the Longitudinal Stability and Gliding Characteristics of a 42 Degree Sweptback Wing Equipped With Leading-Edge Flaps (open access)

The Effect of Span and Deflection of Split Flaps and Leading-Edge Roughness on the Longitudinal Stability and Gliding Characteristics of a 42 Degree Sweptback Wing Equipped With Leading-Edge Flaps

Report discussing the effect of half-span and full-span split flaps through a deflection range on the low-speed, longitudinal characteristics of a sweptback wing with a round-nose, extensible leading-edge flap. Information about the effect of split-flap deflection on lift and stalling characteristics, effect of split flaps on gliding characteristics, and effect of leading-edge roughness on longitudinal stability is presented.
