Report presenting testing of models of rocket-motor fins of the ASROC missile for flutter and divergence in the supersonic flutter tunnel for a range of Mach numbers. Results indicate that both divergence of the overhung leading edge and flutter occur within the sea-level operating conditions of the missile at Mach numbers above 1.0. Results regarding the flutter boundary, type of flutter encountered, possible solutions to flutter problems, and possible effects of nondestructive type of flutter are provided.

From Summary: "The development and the use of a chart for estimating the pressure losses in jet-engine combustion chambers are described. By means of the chart, the pressure losses due to fluid friction and to momentum changes in the air flow accompanying combustion can be separately evaluated. The over-all pressure losses computed from the pressure-loss chart are within 7 percent of the experimental values for the three types of combustion chambers considered herein."

From Summary: "This report presents the results of tests in which the pressure distribution over the fixed wing of an autogiro was determined in both steady and accelerated flight. In the steady-flight condition, the rotor-blade motion was also measured. These data show that in steady flight the rotor speed as a function of the air speed is largely affected by the variation of the division of load between the rotor and the wing; as the load on the wing increases, the rotor speed decreases."
