The Effect of Fillets Between Wings and Fuselage on the Drag and Propulsive Efficiency of an Airplane (open access)

The Effect of Fillets Between Wings and Fuselage on the Drag and Propulsive Efficiency of an Airplane

Tests were made to determine the effect of fillets between wings and fuselage on the drag and propulsive efficiency of a high-wing cabin monoplane. These tests were made in the 20-foot Propeller Research Tunnel of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.

Ignition Points and Combustion Reactions in Diesel Engines: Part 1 (open access)

Ignition Points and Combustion Reactions in Diesel Engines: Part 1

The question of whether the fuel should be adapted to the engine or whether it is possible to improve equipment such as carburetors and engines so that as much of the crude oil as possible may be used without further transformation is examined in this report. Various ignition points and fuel mixtures are investigated in this regard.

Drag and Cooling With Various Forms of Cowling for A "Whirlwind" Radial Air-Cooled Engine - 1 (open access)

Drag and Cooling With Various Forms of Cowling for A "Whirlwind" Radial Air-Cooled Engine - 1

"This report presents the results of an investigation undertaken in the 20-foot Propeller Research Tunnel at Langley Field on the cowling of radial air-cooled engines. A portion of the investigation has been completed, in which several forms and degrees of cowling were tested on Wright "Whirlwind" J-5 engine mounted in the nose of a cabin fuselage. The cowlings varied from the one extreme of an entirely exposed engine to the other in which the engine was entirely inclosed. Cooling tests were made and each cowling modified, if necessary, until the engine cooled approximately as satisfactorily as when it was entirely exposed" (p. 165).

Ignition and Combustion Phenomena in Diesel Engines (open access)

Ignition and Combustion Phenomena in Diesel Engines

Evidences were found that neither gasification nor vaporization of the injected fuel occurs before ignition; also that the hydrogen coefficient has no significance. However the knowledge of the ignition point and of the "time lag" is important. After ignition, the combustion proceeds in a series of reactions, the last of which at least are now known.

Research on the Control of Airplanes (open access)

Research on the Control of Airplanes

Our task is to endeavor to obtain precise experimental records of the motion of stalled airplanes, both when left to themselves and when the pilot is trying to control them. The apparatus which we use consists of a box containing tree gyroscopes which are slightly deflected against a spring control when the airplane is turning.

Tank tests of twin seaplane floats (open access)

Tank tests of twin seaplane floats

The following report contains the most essential data for the hydrodynamic portion of the twin-float problem. The following points were successfully investigated: 1) difference between stationary and nonstationary flow; 2) effect of the shape of the step; 3) effect of distance between floats; 4) effect of nose-heavy and tail-heavy moments; 5) effect of the shape of floats; 6) maneuverability.
