Pressure-distribution measurements over an extensible leading-edge flap on two wings having leading-edge sweep of 42 degrees and 52 degrees (open access)

Pressure-distribution measurements over an extensible leading-edge flap on two wings having leading-edge sweep of 42 degrees and 52 degrees

Report presenting an investigation of the pressure distribution over a leading-edge flap in the 19-foot pressure tunnel. Testing occurred on 42 degree and 52 degree sweptback wings of NACA 64(sub 1)-112 sections, with the 42 degree wing being used in conjunction with a circular cross-section fuselage in a high-wing combination.

Investigation of ceramic, graphite, and chrome-plated graphite nozzles on rocket engine (open access)

Investigation of ceramic, graphite, and chrome-plated graphite nozzles on rocket engine

The use of ceramic material for rocket nozzles and the effectiveness of preventing oxidation and erosion of graphite nozzles by chrome-plating the internal surface were investigated. A supported ceramic nozzle, cracked by initial operation, was operated a second time without further cracking or damage. Chrome-plating the internal surface of graphite nozzles effectively prevented oxidation and erosion that occurred during operation with unprotected graphite.
