Investigation at high subsonic speeds of the effect of adding various combinations of missiles on the aerodynamic characteristics of sweptback and unswept wings combined with a fuselage (open access)

Investigation at high subsonic speeds of the effect of adding various combinations of missiles on the aerodynamic characteristics of sweptback and unswept wings combined with a fuselage

Report presenting an investigation at Mach numbers from 0.50 to 0.94 of the effects of two sizes of missiles in several combinations of spanwise and vertical positions on the aerodynamic characteristics of wing-fuselage combinations with a 46.7 degree sweptback wing and an essentially unswept wing. Results regarding the drag characteristics and lift and pitch characteristics are provided.

Low-Amplitude Damping-in-Pitch Characteristics of Tailless Delta-Wing-Body Combinations at Mach Numbers From 0.80 to 1.35 as Obtained With Rocket-Powered Models (open access)

Low-Amplitude Damping-in-Pitch Characteristics of Tailless Delta-Wing-Body Combinations at Mach Numbers From 0.80 to 1.35 as Obtained With Rocket-Powered Models

Report of an investigation using three rocket-propelled delta-wing-body combinations for a range of Mach numbers to determine the damping-in-pitch characteristics. All models were statically stable but dynamically unstable at transonic speeds. Information about trim, lift, and drag is also provided.

The Role of Internal Conversion in the Study of Isomeric Transitions (open access)

The Role of Internal Conversion in the Study of Isomeric Transitions

A short review of the field of internal conversions. Isomeric transitions teach us many details of nuclear structure. In these studies electromagnetic theory is considered as a "tool". It is a quite quantitative tool in the case of "internal conversion" - a phenomenon which has been widely studied for many years. Internal conversion takes place in competition with γ-ray emission: a fraction of the nuclei in excited states decay by γ-ray emission, the remaining fraction by transferring the energy to K, or L, etc. electrons in the atomic shell. Thus the lifetime of an excited nuclear state depends on the internal conversion coefficient. As internal conversion must be expected to depend on the details of the electronic environment, the lifetime of an isomeric state depends on the state of chemical combination of the isomer - as was recently shown explicitly in one case, that of Te-99m(6hr.).
