Comparative Drag Measurements at Transonic Speeds of 6-Percent-Thick Airfoils of Symmetrical Double-Wedge and Circular-Arc Sections From Tests by the NACA Wing-Flow Method (open access)

Comparative Drag Measurements at Transonic Speeds of 6-Percent-Thick Airfoils of Symmetrical Double-Wedge and Circular-Arc Sections From Tests by the NACA Wing-Flow Method

Report presenting comparative drag measurements at zero lift at transonic speeds for two sharp-leading-edge airfoils using the NACA wing-flow method. One airfoil had a symmetrical circular-arc section and one had a symmetrical double-wedge section. The primary difference in the drag characteristics of the two airfoils at zero lift is the earlier drag rise of the double-wedge section.

Drag Measurements of a Swept-Back Wing Having Inverse Taper as Determined by Flight Tests at Supersonic Speeds

Report discussing the results of flight tests to determine the drag at zero lift of a swept-back wing of inverse taper using an NACA 65-009 airfoil. The data was compared to untapered wings with a similar degree of sweepback. The tapered wing was found to have a lower drag coefficient than the 34-degree swept-back untapered wing but a higher drag coefficient than the 45-degree swept-back untapered wing.

Beta Magnet Current Stability (open access)

Beta Magnet Current Stability

Abstract: A TEC regulator amplifier driving an Eaterline-Angus recording meter was used to record magnet current variations. Tests were made to determine magnet current variations. Tests were made to determine magnet current stability for currents from 500 amperes to 4000 amperes. Changes were necessary in both the TEC and GE regulators before currents below 2500 amperes could be regulated. Regulation to 0.025 percent for and hour was obtained for currents of 1000 to 4000 amperes with the TEC and GE regulators, and regulation to 0.05 percent for 500 ampere currents.

The Toxicity and Metabolism of Plutonium in Laboratory Animals (open access)

The Toxicity and Metabolism of Plutonium in Laboratory Animals

Introduction. The main objective of the Metallurgical Project was the preparation of large quantities of plutonium 239, an isotope of element 94, by the interaction of neutrons and uranium. At the beginning, only predictions of its chemical and biological properties could be made since it is a new element. It was predicted that it would be toxic to tissue by virtue of its high atomic weight, and in addition, that it would be toxic by virtue of its radioactivity. Thus, the preparation and use of the element on a large scale meant the manipulation of, and possible exposure to, toxic quantities. It was, therefore, of practical importance to obtain data which would elaborate on the predicted toxicity. The objectives of the work reported here were to establish the acute toxicity of plutonium in experimental animals and to study the distribution of the element in the body after the administration of a wide range of doses. In the interest of economy of what was, at that time, a rare substance, and of animals and facilities, these two objectives were frequently pursued in the same experiment. The information obtained from the separate experiments is therefore frequently incomplete in one or another respect. …
