Experimental investigation of deposition by boron-containing fuels in turbojet combustor (open access)

Experimental investigation of deposition by boron-containing fuels in turbojet combustor

Report presenting an investigation conducted with trimethyl borate azeotrope and pentaborane fuels in a turbojet combustor. The primary purposes of the study were to determine the effect of boron oxide deposits on the turbine-nozzle area, combustor pressure loss, temperature distribution, and combustion efficiency. Three distinct boron deposit patterns were noted in the investigation.

Free-flight performance of a rotating-vane-spoiler roll control system with low actuating forces (open access)

Free-flight performance of a rotating-vane-spoiler roll control system with low actuating forces

Report presenting free-flight tests of two rocket models at a range of Mach numbers to determine the control rolling effectiveness and system operation of an autorotating-vane spoiler on a missile configuration with an 80 degree delta, cruciform wing. Results indicated that the system operated fairly satisfactorily as a flicker-type roll control except at low supersonic speeds.

Investigation of Static Stability and Drag Characteristics of a 1/10-Scale Model of the Avco Booster Vehicle at Mach Numbers of 1.60 and 2.00, Coord. No. AF-AM-58 (open access)

Investigation of Static Stability and Drag Characteristics of a 1/10-Scale Model of the Avco Booster Vehicle at Mach Numbers of 1.60 and 2.00, Coord. No. AF-AM-58

"An investigation has been conducted in the Langley Unitary Plan Wind tunnel to determine the static stability and drag characteristics of a 1/10-scale model of the AVCO booster vehicle. The tests were made at a constant Reynolds number, based on maximum nose diameter, of 1.09 x 10(exp 6)6 at Mach numbers of 1.60 and 2.00" (p. 1).

Performance at High Temperatures and Pressures of an Annular Turbojet Combustor Having Articulated Liner Walls

Report discussing the performance of an experimental quarter-sector annular combustor at conditions simulating supersonic flight of a cooled-turbine engine, as well as 20 different modification to the design. The final configuration was found to show no structural failures and little or no warping of liner parts after 40 hours of operation.
