Lift, drag, and pitching moment of low-aspect-ratio wings at subsonic and supersonic speeds: twisted and cambered triangular wing of aspect ratio 2 with NACA 0003-63 thickness distribution

This report presents the results of an investigation to ascertain the lift, drag, and pitching moment of a wing-body combination having a triangular wing of aspect ratio 2 with NACA 0003-63 thickness distribution in streamwise planes and twisted and cambered for a nearly elliptical span load distribution. Results are shown for Mach numbers from 0.60 to 0.90 and from 1.30 to 1.70 at Reynolds numbers of 3.0 million and 7.5 million.

Recent Experimental Flutter Studies (open access)

Recent Experimental Flutter Studies

Report presenting some highlights of recent experimental studies of flutter at high speeds. Flutter problems have become more varied with the advent of transonic flight and importance of aeroelasticity, and the flutter field has merged with other aspect of aeroelasticity such as divergence and buffeting. The two main subjects of flutter, classical flutter and stall flutter, are explored in these studies.

Effect of Angle of Incidence of Second-Stage Vane Assembly on Third-Stage Compressor-Blade Vibration and Engine Performance (open access)

Effect of Angle of Incidence of Second-Stage Vane Assembly on Third-Stage Compressor-Blade Vibration and Engine Performance

"Strain-gages were used to measure blade vibrations causing failures in the third stage of a production 11-stage axial-flow compressor. After the serious third-stage vibration was detected, a series of investigations were conducted with second-stage vane assemblies of varying angles of incidence. Curves presented herein show the effect of varying the angle of incidence of second-stage vane assembly on third-stage rotor-blade vibration amplitude and engine performance" (p. 1).
