General Treatment of Compressible Flow in Ejectors and Example of Its Application to Problem of Effect of Ejector Addition on Thrust of Jet-Propulsion Units

Memorandum presenting a general treatment of compressible flow in ejectors with friction in the mixing tube included. A secondary object is to show the application of the flow theory to the calculation of the effect of ejector addition on thrust of jet-propelled airplanes and missiles. Results regarding the outline of methods of applying the general theory to some other problems and future explorations of ejector problems are provided.

The mean aerodynamic chord and the aerodynamic center of a tapered wing

A preliminary study of pitching-moment data on tapered wings indicated that excellent agreement with test data was obtained by locating the quarter-chord point of the average chord on the average quarter-chord point of the semispan. The study was therefore extended to include most of the available data on tapered-wing models tested by the NACA.
