Report discussing an investigation into the mutual interference loads on a supersonic bomber configuration and store during separation of the store. Tests were performed at several airplane angles of attack, store angles of attack, and airplane sidestep angles. The aerodynamic characteristics of the various components and coefficients of forces are provided in tables.

Report discussing zero-lift drag data for several bomb configurations at various Mach numbers. Seven configurations were tested with different combinations of interchangeable noses and tail cones with fins, some with different surface conditions. Surface conditions were not found to affect the drag, but the thickness of the tail fins and shape of the noses did change the shape of the drag curve.

The high-work-output turbine had an experimental efficiency of 0.830 at the design point and a maximum efficiency of 0.857. The downstream stator was effective in providing axial flow out of the turbine for almost the whole range of turbine operation.

Report discussing pressure distributions on a thin conical cambered low-aspect-ratio delta wing over a range of Mach numbers. Combinations tested included the wing in combination with a basic Sears-Haack body and a body indented symmetrically for Mach number 1.2. Results regarding wing pressure distributions, effects of body indentation on the wing pressure, body pressure distributions, and effects of body indentation on body pressures are presented.

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of compressibility on the hovering performance and the blade pitching moments of a helicopter rotor with a tip airfoil, a root airfoil, and twist. Results regarding hovering performance, rotor-blade pitching moments, rotor profile-drag torque, and a comparison with two-dimensional drag-divergence data are provided.

Report presenting an investigation of the low-speed power-on stability and control characteristics of a free-flying model of the North American X-15 airplane. Results regarding the longitudinal stability and control, lateral stability, and lateral control are provided. Longitudinal stability was low, but it was considered to be satisfactory up to an angle of attack of about 30 degrees.

Memorandum presenting a model of a 60 degree delta-wing bomber with strut-mounted Siamese nacelles, which was designed, with the use of a symmetrical fuselage indentation, to have a smooth average area distribution at a Mach number of 1.20. The results show that the configuration drag rise was significantly higher than that from the equivalent-body tests and area-rule theory throughout the Mach number range. Results regarding total drag and pressure drag are provided.

Report presenting limited flight-test data obtained from an automatically controlled interceptor during runs in which oscillatory rolling motions occurred that were then compared to the pilot's comments about his ability to tolerate the imposed lateral oscillations. The alleviation of the undesirable effects of oscillatory lateral accelerations and their effects on piloting task were also considered. The marginally tolerable limit of acceleration forces on the pilot's head was found to be about 0.4 to 0.5g.

Report presenting theoretical rocket performance for frozen and equilibrium composition during expansion for the propellant combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid fluorine at a chamber pressure of 600 pounds per square inch absolute and several pressure ratios and oxidant-fuel ratios. The parameters included were specific impulse, combustion-chamber temperature, nozzle-exit temperature, molecular weight, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, specific heat at constant pressure, isentropic exponent, viscosity, and thermal conductivity.

"An investigation has been made in the Langley 4-by-4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a series of missile configurations having low-aspect-ratio wings at a Mach number of 2.01. The effects of wing plan form and size, length-diameter ratio, forebody and afterbody length, boattailed and flared afterbodies, and component force and moment data are presented for combined angles of attack and sideslip to about 28 degrees. No analysis of the data was made in this report" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of spanwise and chordwise external store location on the aerodynamic characteristics of a cambered 45 degree sweptback wing-body configuration at a range of Mach numbers. Information about the drag characteristics of the various configurations, lift characteristics, and longitudinal stability characteristics is presented.

Report presenting an investigation to determine whether the low-lift drag of a rocket-model airplane-like configuration could be reduced at transonic and low supersonic Mach numbers by reducing wing thickness while external braces were used to provide the necessary bending strength. The investigation was conducted with two rocket models of aspect ratio 3.04, and unswept braced tapered wings mounted on fuselages with the same fineness ratios and cross-sectional area distributions. Data was compared to a previous study involving a model with a thicker cantilever wing.

Report presenting a theoretical investigation of the attack phase of an automatically controlled interceptor. Three types of control systems were simulated on an analog computer: a modern high-speed interceptor, a dynamically perfect radar-controlled director-type guidance system for a lead-collision course, and a velocity-type automatic pilot. The primary flight maneuver tested was a 5g climbing turn with roll and acceleration commands applied simultaneously.
