Cylinder Barrel Cooling With Bonded Preformed Copper Fins (open access)

Cylinder Barrel Cooling With Bonded Preformed Copper Fins

Report presenting testing of preformed copper fins which were furnace-brazed to a steel-cylinder barrel. The barrel was electrically heated and blower-cooled to determine heat overall heat-transfer coefficient. Information regarding potential future adaptations of the fins are provided.

Effect of Propeller Operation on the Pitching Moments of Single-Engine Monoplanes (open access)

Effect of Propeller Operation on the Pitching Moments of Single-Engine Monoplanes

Report presenting an investigation of the effects of propeller operation on pitching moments with particular reference to the effect of propeller forces, the field of flow in the slipstream, and the increments of lift on the wing and the tail. A procedure, directly applicable only to single-engine monoplanes without flaps, has been set up for predicting the effect of propeller operation on pitching moments as well.

A flight investigation of the boundary-layer characteristics and profile drag of the NACA 35-215 laminar-flow airfoil at high Reynolds numbers (open access)

A flight investigation of the boundary-layer characteristics and profile drag of the NACA 35-215 laminar-flow airfoil at high Reynolds numbers

Report presenting testing to determine the boundary layer characteristics and profile drag of the NACA 35-215 airfoil section at high Reynolds numbers. The results indicated that a forward movement of the transition point occurred at about 3 percent of the chord due to operation of the engines and propellers.
