Report presenting a free-flight investigation of a rocket-powered research model to determine the hinge-moment and normal-force characteristics of a trailing-edge control on a delta wing between Mach numbers of 0.50 and 1.26. The hinge-line location of 40 percent control chord satisfactorily reduced the high hinge moments associated with plain flap-type controls. Results regarding hinge moments and normal force are provided.

Abstract: "Rare-earth analyses were performed on several samples of refined uranium oxide and nitrate, using a modified cellulose column procedure. Rare earths were not detectable in samples of 0.03 shotgun of less. Detection limits were from 0.0005 to 0.015 ppm. Negligible quantities of low-cross-section rare earths were found in less pure uranium samples, obtained during start-up operations of the pilot plant at the Feed Materials Production Center, primarily those rare earths of greater than average abundance in nature. No correlation was found between rare-earth content and shotgun values. Rare earths do not appear to be contributing significantly to the neutron absorption of refined uranium. A modified cellulose column procedure, which includes a preconcentration solvent-extraction step, is described. Radioactive tracer tests indicating rare-earth recoveries by the method of >98 per cent are reported."

Introduction: "In the evaluation of pile designs it is necessary to know how the production varies with the number of tubes. It has been possible to solve the problem in terms of some general parameters whose values may be quickly computed for any specific design when the pertinent information is available."

Report presenting the overall performance and rotating stall characteristics of a single-stage compressor with a hub-tip ratio of 0.76 and a symmetrical velocity diagram over a wide range of weight flow for several different design speed percentages. No discontinuities in performance were noted at an operating condition. Results regarding the overall performance, types of rotating stall observed, circumferential extent of stall zones, flow fluctuations incited by rotating stall, rotating-stall hysteresis, and a theoretical analysis are provided.

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of several seeker-nose configurations on the static longitudinal stability, canard control characteristics, and lift and drag at Mach number 1.60 of a canard-type ramjet missile with 70 degree delta canard control surfaces and 70 degree delta wings. The tests indicate that, for the most part, the configurations tested exhibited no significant difference in static longitudinal stability or horizontal-canard control effectiveness.

From Summary: "Calculated velocity and temperature distributions, as well as relations among Nusselt number, Reynolds number, and friction factor, are presented."

Report investigation Freon-12 as the working fluid for a 14-inch-diameter supersonic mixed-flow axial-discharge rotor of the impulse type. The whole series of tests was performed twice, once with guide vanes that underturned the air and gave a lower relative inlet velocity and once with a set that gave the design values for velocity and direction. Results regarding the overall performance characteristics, entrance flow, internal pressure patterns, exit flow, and rotor losses are provided.

Memorandum presenting an investigation of the use of a small quantity of fluid that ignites spontaneously within nitric acid to initiate the acid-gasoline reaction carried out in a 200-pound-thrust uncooled engine with a characteristic length of 30 inches at a range of temperatures. The starting process was divided into two phases: ignition and transition. Results regarding ignition temperature limits, effect of temperature on allowable igniter fuel flow, optimum valve opening time for ignition, effect of temperature on transition process, effect of running-fuel reactivity on transition, and tar-forming tendencies of igniter fuels are provided.

Report presenting an investigation of an axially symmetric nacelle-type conical spike inlet with two bypasses located in the horizontal plane and on opposite sides of the nacelle in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic tunnel at several Mach numbers and angles of attack. Results regarding the performance with open bypasses and with closed bypasses are provided.
