Free-Flight Investigation of the Rolling Effectiveness of a Wing-Spoiler Arrangement at High Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds (open access)

Free-Flight Investigation of the Rolling Effectiveness of a Wing-Spoiler Arrangement at High Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds

Report presenting an investigation of the rolling effectiveness of a wing-spoiler arrangement using a rocket-propelled test vehicle in free flight. The configuration investigated in the report is likely not optimum and indicates a need for further exploration.

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/24-Scale Model of the North American XP-86 Airplane (open access)

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/24-Scale Model of the North American XP-86 Airplane

"A spin investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/24-scale model of the North American XP-86 airplane. The effects of control settings and movements upon the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the design gross weight loading. The long-range loading was also investigated and the effects of extending slats and dive flaps were determined" (p. 1).

Performance of 24-Inch Supersonic Axial-Flow Compressor in Air 1: Performance of Compressor Rotor at Design Tip Speed of 1600 Feet Per Second (open access)

Performance of 24-Inch Supersonic Axial-Flow Compressor in Air 1: Performance of Compressor Rotor at Design Tip Speed of 1600 Feet Per Second

Memorandum presenting an investigation of an axial-flow compressor rotor operating with supersonic velocities relative to the blade rows in order to determine the performance characteristics in air and to confirm the performance obtained in Freon-12 at another laboratory. Results regarding the weight flow, work of compression, pressure ratio and adiabatic efficiency, and entry of shock are provided.
