Theoretical additional span loading characteristics of wings with arbitrary sweep, aspect ratio, and taper ratio (open access)

Theoretical additional span loading characteristics of wings with arbitrary sweep, aspect ratio, and taper ratio

From Summary: "The Weissinger method for determining additional span loading has been used to find the lift-curve slope, spanwise center of pressure, aerodynamic center location, and span loading coefficients of untwisted and uncambered wings having a wide range of plan forms characterized by various combinations of sweep, aspect ratio, and taper ratio. The results are presented as variations of the aerodynamic characteristics with sweep angle for various values of aspect ratio and taper ratio. Methods are also included for determining induced drag and the approximate effects of compressibility."

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/24-Scale Model of the McDonnell XP-88 Airplane with a Vee Tail (open access)

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/24-Scale Model of the McDonnell XP-88 Airplane with a Vee Tail

"An investigation of the spin and recovery characteristics of a 1/24-scale model of the McDonnell XP-88 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-ft free-spinning tunnel. Results of tests with a conventional tail have been previously reported; the results presented herein are for the model with a vee tail installed. The effects of control settings and movements on the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model. In the normal loading were determined" (p. 1).

Analysis of effect of basic design variables on subsonic axial-flow-compressor performance (open access)

Analysis of effect of basic design variables on subsonic axial-flow-compressor performance

From Summary: "A blade-element theory for axial-flow compressors has been developed and applied to the analysis of the effects of basic design variables such as Mach number, blade loading, and velocity distribution on compressor performance. The relations among several efficiencies useful in compressor design are derived and discussed. The possible gains in useful operating range obtainable by the use of adjustable stator blades are discussed and a rapid approximate method of calculating blade-angle resettings is shown by an example."

Preliminary Tank Tests of NACA Hydro-Skis for High-Speed Airplanes

Report presenting the results from tank landing and take-off tests with a dynamic model of a hypothetical jet-propelled airplane equipped with NACA hydro-skis. Results regarding landing tests, take-off tests, and practical considerations for the creation of hydro-ski configurations are provided. The hydro-skis suitable for flush retraction into streamline fuselages do appear to offer a practical means of water take-offs and landings.
