The results of the fall-out monitoring program at fixed stations more than 200 miles from the test site following the series of atomic tests in Nevada during the spring of 1952 are shown in a series of maps. Trajectories of debris from the individual bursts are given, together with a discussion of meteorological phenomena associated with the transport of atomic debris.

From introduction: "This report is an attempt to examine, semiquantitavely, the way the competition between neutron emission and fission varies for heavy nuclei as a function of nuclear type and excitation energy. Many of the ideas herein are the results of discussions with R. H. Goeckermann and W. Heckrotte of the University of California Radiation Laboratory."

"An investigation of the rolling effectiveness of spoiler and aileron aerodynamic controls on a fighter-type airplane has been conducted at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.5 by the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Division by utilizing rocket-propelled test vehicles. No effects of mutual interference between the midspan spoiler and the outboard aileron were detectable. Above the speed of sound, the ailerons were relatively ineffective as compared with the spoiler because of wing twisting" (p. 1).

Report discussing testing on the performance of two stator-blade shapes with and without boric oxide deposits. The deposits were found to cause total pressure losses and decreases in the blade-exit flow angle. Information about the cascade throat area, boundary-layer momentum thickness, total pressure ratio, and exit flow angle and tangential component of velocity is provided.

From Summary: "A photographic technique for investigating water droplets of diameter less than 200 microns falling freely in air at temperatures between 0 C and -50 C has been devised and used to determine: (1) The shape of frozen droplets, (2) The occurrence of collisions of partly frozen or of frozen and liquid droplets, and (3) The statistics on the freezing temperatures of individual free-falling droplets."

Report presenting tests of three types of nose shapes with a circular underslung inlet inlet located well forward of the body of revolution at a Mach number of 1.42. Total-pressure measurements and shadowgraphs of the different configurations were obtained.

Report presenting measurements of the position errors of angle-of-attack and sideslip detectors located on the fuselage of a 35 degree swept-wing fighter airplane over a range of Mach numbers and at lift coefficients up to the buffet boundary. Results regarding the angle of attack and sideslip are provided.

Report presenting an investigation of the rolling effectiveness of spoiler and aileron aerodynamic controls on a fighter-type airplane from Mach numbers 0.6 to 1.5. No effects of mutual interference between the spoiler and aileron were detectable. Results regarding drag and the effect of gap upon spoiler performance are also provided.

From Summary: "The transonic similarity rules have been applied to the correlation of experimental data for a series of 22 rectangular wings having symmetrical NACA 63A-series sections, aspect ratios from 1/2 to 6, and thicknesses from 2 to 10 percent. The data were obtained by use of the transonic bump technique over a Mach number range from 0.40 to 1.10, corresponding to a Reynolds number range from 1.25 to 2.05 million. The results show that it is possible to correlate experimental data throughout the subsonic, transonic, and moderate supersonic regimes by using the transonic similarity parameters in forms which are consistent with the Prandtl-Glauert rule of linearized theory."

From Summary: "Approximate shapes of nonlifting bodies having minimum pressure foredrag at high supersonic airspeeds are calculated.With the aid of Newton's law of resistance, the investigation is carried out for various combinations of the conditions of given body length, base diameter, surface area, and volume. In general it is found that when body length is fixed, the body has a blunt nose; whereas, when the length is not fixed, the body has a sharp nose."

An analytical investigation of the effects of fuel density and heating value on the cruising range of a ram-jet airplane was made. Results indicate that with present-day knowledge of chemical fuels, neither very high nor very low fuel densities have any advantages for long-range flight. Of the fuels investigated, the borohydrides and metallic boron have the greatest range potential. Aluminum and aluminum hydrocarbon slurries were inferior to pure hydrocarbon fuel and boron-hydrocarbon slurries were superior on a range basis. It was concluded that the practical difficulties associated with the use of liquid hydrogen fuel cannot be justified on a range basis.
