Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 42 Degree Swept-Back Wing With Aspect Ratio 4 and NACA 64(Sub 1)-112 Airfoil Sections at Reynolds Numbers From 1,700,000 to 9,500,000 (open access)

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 42 Degree Swept-Back Wing With Aspect Ratio 4 and NACA 64(Sub 1)-112 Airfoil Sections at Reynolds Numbers From 1,700,000 to 9,500,000

Report discussing testing on a 42 degree swept-back wing to determine its low-speed aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and yaw at high Reynolds numbers. The main effect of increasing the Reynolds number was delayed wing stalling to higher angles of attack. Roughness on the wing leading edge also had a large adverse effect on lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics at higher Reynolds numbers.

Cooling Characteristics of the V-1650-7 Engine, 1, Coolant-Flow Distribution, Cylinder Temperatures, and Heat Rejections at Typical Operating Conditions

From Summary: "An investigation was conducted to determine the coolant-flow distribution, the cylinder temperatures, and the heat rejections of the V-1650-7 engine . The tests were run a t several power levels varying from minimum fuel consumption to war emergency power and at each power level the coolant flows corresponded to the extremes of those likely to be encountered in typical airplane installations, A mixture of 30-percent ethylene glycol and 70-percent water was used as the coolant. The temperature of each cylinder was measured between the exhaust valves, between the intake valves, in the center of the head, on the exhaust-valve guide, at the top of the barrel on the exhaust side, and on each exhaust spark-plug gasket."
