Preliminary investigation of pumping and thrust characteristics of full-size cooling-air ejectors at several exhaust-gas temperatures (open access)

Preliminary investigation of pumping and thrust characteristics of full-size cooling-air ejectors at several exhaust-gas temperatures

Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the performance of seven full-size ejector configurations over a range of secondary to primary air-flow ratios, primary total- to ambient-pressure ratios, and primary gas temperatures. Results regarding primary-nozzle performance, ejector performance, typical ejector characteristics, effect of operating temperatures on ejector flow characteristics, and effect of geometry on ejector performance are provided.

A Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Static Lateral, Directional, and Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of the Martin B-61A Missile (Matador) (open access)

A Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Static Lateral, Directional, and Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of the Martin B-61A Missile (Matador)

"The static lateral, directional, and longitudinal stability characteristics of a 0.06-scale model of the Martin B-61A missile (Matador) were investigated in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.80 t o 1.12. Six-component force and moment data were obtained from strain-gage measurements. The characteristics of a spoiler and of wing-tip end plates were also investigated. The Reynolds number of the tests based on the mean aerodynamic chord of the wing was approximately 1.6 X 10(exp 6)" (p. 1).
