A flight investigation at transonic speeds and small angles of attack of the aerodynamic characteristics of a model having a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 with an Naca 64A006 airfoil section (open access)

A flight investigation at transonic speeds and small angles of attack of the aerodynamic characteristics of a model having a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 with an Naca 64A006 airfoil section

Report presenting an investigation of the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a model with a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 and a 45 degree sweptback cruciform tail at transonic speeds and small angles of attack by a free-fall recoverable-model technique. Results regarding lift, drag, static longitudinal stability, dynamic longitudinal stability, and loading distribution over the fuselage are provided.

Aerodynamics of slender bodies at Mach number of 3.12 and Reynolds numbers from 2 x 10(exp 6) to 15 x 10(exp 6) 4: aerodynamic characteristics of series of four bodies having near-parabolic noses and cylindrical afterbodies (open access)

Aerodynamics of slender bodies at Mach number of 3.12 and Reynolds numbers from 2 x 10(exp 6) to 15 x 10(exp 6) 4: aerodynamic characteristics of series of four bodies having near-parabolic noses and cylindrical afterbodies

Pressure distributions and forces for a series of four bodies of revolution having nose-fineness ratios varying from 4 to 10 have been obtained and compared with theory for a Mach number of 3.12, a Reynolds number range of 2x10(sup)6 to 14x10(sup)6, and angles of attack from zero to 9 degrees. In general, a comparison of the experimental data with a second-order theory showed good agreement for the range of variables investigated.

Measurement of heat-transfer and friction coefficients for flow of air in noncircular ducts at high surface temperatures (open access)

Measurement of heat-transfer and friction coefficients for flow of air in noncircular ducts at high surface temperatures

Report presenting measurements of average heat-transfer and friction coefficients obtained with air flowing through electrically heated ducts with square, rectangular, and triangular cross sections for a range of surface temperatures and Reynolds numbers. Results regarding heat balances, correlation of heat-transfer coefficients, correlation of friction coefficients, and correlation of peripheral temperature variations are provided.
