Lateral-Control Investigation at a Reynolds Number of 5,300,000 of a Wing of Aspect Ratio 5.8 Sweptforward 32 Degrees at the Leading Edge (open access)

Lateral-Control Investigation at a Reynolds Number of 5,300,000 of a Wing of Aspect Ratio 5.8 Sweptforward 32 Degrees at the Leading Edge

Memorandum presenting the low-speed lateral control characteristics of a 32 degree sweptforward wing of aspect ratio 5.8 and NACA 65-series airfoil sections as determined in the 19-foot pressure tunnel. The investigation include the measurement of the hinge-moment and normal-force characteristics of an aileron and the rolling-effectiveness characteristics of the aileron and several configurations of spoilers.

Low-speed static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of 60 degree triangular-wing and modified 60 degree triangular-wing models having half-delta and half-diamond tip controls (open access)

Low-speed static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of 60 degree triangular-wing and modified 60 degree triangular-wing models having half-delta and half-diamond tip controls

Report presenting a low-speed investigation in the stability tunnel to determine the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of two wing-fuselage combinations equipped with wing-tip controls of half-diamond and half-delta plan form. Results regarding the effect of control area and plan form on control characteristics and on trim characteristics are provided.

Free-spinning-tunnel investigation to determine the effect of spin-recovery rockets and thrust simulation on the recovery characteristics of a 1/25-scale model of the Chance Vought XF8U-1 airplane: TED No. NACA DE 392

Report presenting an investigation of a model of the Chance Vought XF8U-1 airplane to determine the effect of spin-recovery rockets on the recovery characteristics of the model. The investigation also included tests to determine the effect of simulated engine thrust on the recovery characteristics of the model. Results regarding yaw rockets, thrust-simulation rocket, and roll rockets are provided.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 0.04956-Scale Model of the Convair F-102B Airplane at Mach Numbers of 1.41, 1.61, and 2.01: Coord No. AF-231 (open access)

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 0.04956-Scale Model of the Convair F-102B Airplane at Mach Numbers of 1.41, 1.61, and 2.01: Coord No. AF-231

Report discussing testing of a scale model of the Convair F-102B to determine its aerodynamic characteristics at several Mach numbers. Four basic body modifications and two afterbody configurations were evaluated.The body modifications were all found to slightly reduce values of minimum drag, but did not cause a change in the static stability and lift-curve-slope values compared to the F-102A.

A study of a missile designed to fly at low speed with its longitudinal axis aligned with the flight path (open access)

A study of a missile designed to fly at low speed with its longitudinal axis aligned with the flight path

An experimental investigation to explore the practicability of a low-speed missile designed to fly with its longitudinal axis pointing along the flight path. The wing and tail surfaces were arranged in a cruciform pattern and the incidence was selected to trim the missile at the desired normal-force coefficient with the body at 0 degrees angle of attack. Results regarding the description of a self-balancing missile and experimental results are provided.
