Stability and Control Force Tests of Four- and Six-Unit Wing Designs of Low Aspect Ratio and 20 Degree Triangular Plan Form (open access)

Stability and Control Force Tests of Four- and Six-Unit Wing Designs of Low Aspect Ratio and 20 Degree Triangular Plan Form

Report presenting an investigation to obtain force-test data on a wing design suitable for high-speed guided missiles, especially data on rolling moments produced in yawed and pitched attitudes. Force tests were conducted on two models of a wing design of low aspect ratio and 20 degree triangular plan form. Results regarding the application of results, four-unit wing design, and six-unit wing design are provided.

Static-Thrust Investigation of Full-Scale PV-2 Helicopter Rotors Having NACA 0012.6 and 23012.6 Airfoil Sections (open access)

Static-Thrust Investigation of Full-Scale PV-2 Helicopter Rotors Having NACA 0012.6 and 23012.6 Airfoil Sections

An investigation was conducted to compare the performance of two 25-ft-diam rotors which had identical dimensions and were similar in construction but different in blade airfoil-sections. Tests were conducted at indicated blade pitch angles from 3 degrees to 11.5 degrees and rotor speeds of 200, 290, and 371 rpm. The 23012.6 rotor required 2 percent less power to hover than the 0012.6. At thrust coefficients above design, the performance of the 23012.6 became better than the 0012.6 rotor.

Stresses Around Large Cut-Outs in Torsion Boxes (open access)

Stresses Around Large Cut-Outs in Torsion Boxes

The problem treated here is that of the stresses in a torsion box with a large rectangular cut-out. The theoretical treatment is confined to stresses termed the 'primary stresses.' Comparison of the theoretical results with strain gage data for a series of cut-outs indicates that the primary stresses are probably adequate for designing the major part of the structure, the only important exception being in the design of the cover sheet in the full section adjacent to the cut-out.

Summary and Analysis of Data on Damping in Yaw and Pitch for a Numbers of Airplane Models (open access)

Summary and Analysis of Data on Damping in Yaw and Pitch for a Numbers of Airplane Models

Note presenting damping data obtained from free-flight-tunnel tests of 13 models; the results are analyzed and compared with calculated results. The contributions of the wing, flaps, fuselage, tail surfaces, and power to the damping in pitch and yaw were studied. For complete models, fairly good agreement was obtained between experimental and calculated values for power-off, flaps-neutral conditions.

Tank Tests to Determine the Effect of Varying Design Parameters of Planing-Tail Hulls 1: Effect of Varying Length, Width, and Plan-Form Taper of Afterbody

Report presenting tests conducted in tank no. 2 on models of an unconventional flying-boat hull called a planing-tail hull to determine the effects on resistance of varying a number of afterbody parameters. The effects of varying length, width, and plan-form taper of the afterbody are explored. Results regarding the effect of decreasing width of the afterbody, effect of increasing length of the afterbody, effect of tapering afterbody, and a comparison of planing-tail hulls with a conventional hull are also provided.
