Pressure distribution over an NACA 23012 airfoil with a fixed slot and a slotted flap (open access)

Pressure distribution over an NACA 23012 airfoil with a fixed slot and a slotted flap

Report presents the results of a pressure-distribution investigation conducted in the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory 7 by 10-foot wind tunnel to determine the air loads on an NACA 23012 airfoil in combination with a fixed leading-edge slot and a slotted flap. Pressures were measured over the upper and lower surfaces of the component parts of the combination for several angles of attack and at several flap settings. The data, presented as pressure diagrams and graphs of section coefficients, are applicable to rib, slat, and flap designs for the combination.

A Preliminary Investigation of Supercharging an Air-Cooled Engine in Flight (open access)

A Preliminary Investigation of Supercharging an Air-Cooled Engine in Flight

"This report presents the results of preliminary tests made on the effects of supercharging an air-cooled engine under airplane flight conditions. Service training airplanes were used in the investigation equipped with production types of Wright J engines. A N.A.C.A. Roots type supercharger was driven from the rear of the engine. In addition to measuring those quantities that would enable the determination of the climb performance, measurements were made of the cylinder-head temperatures and the carburetor pressures and temperatures" (p. 83).
