    Description: Measurements of wing buffeting, using root strain gages, were made in the NASA Langley 0.3 m cryogenic wind tunnel to refine techniques which will be used in larger cryogenic facilities such as the United States National Transonic Facility (NTF) and the European Transonic Wind Tunnel (ETW). The questions addressed included the relative importance variations in frequency parameter and Reynolds number, the choice of model material (considering both stiffness and damping) and the effects of static aeroelastic distortion. The main series of tests was made on three half models of slender 65 deg delta wings with a sharp leading edge. The three delta wings had the same planform but widely differing bending stiffnesses and frequencies (obtained by varying both the material and the thickness of the wings). It was known that the steady flow on this configuration would be insensitive to variations in Reynolds number. On this wing at vortex breakdown the spectrum of the unsteady excitation is unusual, having a sharp peak at particular frequency parameter. Additional tests were made on one unswept half-wing of aspect ratio 1.5 with an NPL 9510 aerofoil section, known to be sensitive to variations in Reynolds number at transonic speeds. The test Mach numbers were M = 0.21 and 0.35 for the delta wings and to M = 0.30 for the unswept wing. On this wing the unsteady excitation spectrum is fairly flat (as on most wings). Hence correct representation of the frequency parameter is not particularly important.

    Description: The application of externally blown flaps for improving the performance of short takeoff aircraft is discussed. The characteristics of externally blown flap powered lift are examined. A method for predicting the aerodynamic performance of a particular externally blown flap configuration is presented. The following specific effects are analyzed: (1) induced aerodynamics, (2) static turning, (3) flap span and deflection, and (4) engine size and chord flap.

    Description: Studies being undertaken in order to interconnect the three principal celestial coordinate systens are reviewed. These systems are the optical frame (FK4/FK5) based on positions of Galactic stars, the planetary/lunar ephemeris frame based on the major celestial bodies of the solar system, and the radio frame constructed from observations of quasars. The optical frame is being connected to the radio frame by VLBI observations of radio-emitting stars, and the radio frame is being tied to the ephemeris frame in several ways; for example, differential VLBI measurements between quasars and planet-orbiting spacecraft. Prospects for future interconnection studies are briefly discussed.

    Description: The present use of a parabolized Navier-Stokes solver to accurately simulate the flowfield in a supersonic inlet yields good agreement between numerical analysis and experiment for a Mach 7.4 inlet under cruise conditions, with an internal compression ratio of 8. The significance of real gas effects on the performance calculation of a hypersonic inlet is demonstrated, with small changes in the ratio of specific heats resulting in a substantial change in the calculated pitot pressure ratio.

    Description: Johnson V- and I-band photoelectric photometry has been obtained for 158 SAO stars in a continuing program in support of the Near Infrared Photographic Sky Survey. These data are utilized in the calibration of the survey photographs and are presented here to assist other programs reliant upon access to photometry in the photographic infrared.

    Description: Photometric observations of 131 SAO stars for use in calibrating data obtained from the Near Infrared Photographic Sky Survey (NIPSS) are reported. The serial numbers of the primary NIPSS program fields in which the photometry was done are shown along with the approximate position of each field and the number of stars observed in each field. The observations are listed, showing the SAO numbers of the program stars, their 1950 equatorial coordinates, the V magnitudes, and the (V-R) and (V-I) color indices. The mean errors in magnitudes and color indices obtained by averaging deviations from the mean for each star are on the order of 0.02 mag.

    Description: The traditional procedure for estimating the performance of slotted walls for airfoil wind tunnels is reviewed, and a modification which improves the accuracy of this procedure is described. Unlike the traditional procedure, the modified procedure indicates that the design of airfoil wind-tunnel walls which induce minimal blockage and streamline-curvature effects is feasible. The design and testing of such a slotted wall is described. It is shown experimentally that the presence of a model can affect the plenum pressure and thus make the use of the plenum pressure as a calibration reference questionable. Finally, an ONERA experiment which shows the effect of the sidewall boundary layer on the measured model normal force is discussed.

    Description: Results from a wind tunnel investigation in which velocity vector measurements were obtained in the near wake of an externally blown flap powered lift configuration were analyzed. These measurements were used to develop spanwise distributions for the momentum strength and location of the engine exhaust stream tube with the results used as input parameters to one jet flap analytical method. It is shown that a comparison of the momentum coefficients obtained from forward speed wake surveys with the predicted values from static force data results in a good correlation, which verifies the use of the flap thrust recovery factor as a means of predicting the momentum strength at the flap trailing edge. Also, when wake survey distributions of momentum strength and direction are used as input parameters to one analytical jet flap method, the results show reasonable agreement between the experimental data and analytical results.

Additional tests were made on one unswept half-wing of aspect ratio 1.5 with an NPL 9510 aerofoil section, known to be sensitive to variations in Reynolds number at transonic speeds. For brevity the test Mach numbers were restricted to M = 0.21 and 0.35 for the delta wings and to M = 0.30 for the unswept wing.
