Report presenting an investigation of the effectiveness of transpiration cooling on an 8 degree total-angle conical body with a porous skin for various coolant mass flow rates of nitrogen gas, helium gas, and distilled water.

Report presenting seven pairs of wings tested at Mach numbers of 1.63, 1.93, and 2.41 to determine the validity of NACA TN 2858, which predicts that delta wings with linearly varying thickness ratio have less wave drag than a constant-thickness-ratio delta wing. Results regarding the zero-lift wave drag, values of lift, total drag, pitching moment, and lift-drag ratios for an angle of attack range are provided.

From Summary: "In order to determine the conditions of engine operation causing the most severe thermal stresses in the hot parts of a turbojet engine, a J47-25 engine was instrumented with thermocouples and operated to obtain engine material temperatures under steady-state and transient conditions. Temperatures measured during rated take-off conditions of nozzle guide vanes downstream of a single combustor differed on the order of 400 degrees F depending on the relation of the blades position to the highest temperature zone of the burner. Under the same operation conditions, measured midspan temperatures in a nozzle guide vane in the highest temperature zone of a combustor wake ranged from approximately 1670 degrees F at leading and trailing edges to 1340 degrees F at midchord on the convex side of the blade."
