Two-dimensional compressible flow in centrifugal compressors with straight blades

"Six numerical examples are presented for steady, two-dimensional, compressible, nonviscous flow in centrifugal compressors with thin straight blades, the center lines of which generate the surface of a right circular cone when rotated about the axis of the compressor. A seventh example is presented for incompressible flow. The solutions were obtained in a region of the compressors, including the impeller tip, that was considered to be unaffected by the diffuser vanes or by the impeller-inlet configuration" (p. 141).

The drag of airplane wheels, wheel fairings, and landing gears 2: nonretractable and partly retractable landing gears (open access)

The drag of airplane wheels, wheel fairings, and landing gears 2: nonretractable and partly retractable landing gears

This is the second report giving the results obtained in the NACA 20-foot wind tunnel on the drag due to landing gears. The present report gives the results of tests of nonretractable and partly retractable landing gears intended for heavier low-wing monoplanes of the transport and bomber type.
