    Critical Mach Numbers of Thin Airfoil Sections with Plain Flaps (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Critical Mach number as function of lift coefficient is determined for certain moderately thick NACA low-drag airfoils. Results, given graphically, included calculations on same airfoil sections with plain flaps for small flap deflections. Curves indicate optimum critical conditions for airfoils with flaps in such form that they can be compared with corresponding results for zero flap deflections. Plain flaps increase life-coefficient range for which critical Mach number is in region of high values characteristic of low-drag airfoils.

    Analysis of Effect of Rolling Pull-Outs on Wing and Aileron Loads of a Fighter Airplane (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An analysis was made to determine the effect of rolling pull-out maneuvers on the wing and aileron loads of a typical fighter airplane, the P-47B. The results obtained indicate that higher loads are imposed upon wings and ailerons because of the rolling pull-out maneuver, than would be obtained by application of the loading requirements to which the airplane was designed. An increase of 102 lb or 15 percent of wing weight would be required if the wing were designed for rolling pull-out maneuver. It was also determined that the requirements by which the aileron was originally designed were inadequate.

    Free-Spinning Tunnel Tests of a 1/20-Scale Model of the Chance Vought XF6U-1 Airplane, TED No. NACA 2390 (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-11
    Description: A spin investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/20-scale model of the Chance Vought XF6U-1 airplane, The effects of control settings and movements upon the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the normal-fighter condition. The investigation also included tests for the take-off fighter condition (wing-tip tanks plus fuel added) spin-recovery parachutes, and simulated pilot escape. In general, for the normal-fighter condition, the model was extremely oscillatory in roll, pitch, and yaw. The angles of the fuselage varied from extremely flat to inverted attitudes, and the model rotated with the rudder in a series of short turns and glides. Recoveries by rudder reversal were rapid but the model would immediately go into a spin in the other direction. Recoveries by merely neutralizing the rudder were satisfactory when the elevator and ailerons were set to neutral, the ensuing flight path being a steep glide. Thus, it is recommended that all controls be neutralized for safe recovery from spins obtained on the airplane. With the external wing-tip tanks installed, the spins were somewhat less oscillatory in roll but recovery could not be obtained unless full-down elevator was used in conjunction with the rudder. If a spin is entered inadvertently with the full-scale airplane with external wing-tip tanks installed and if recovery is not imminent after a recovery attempt is made, it is recommended that the tanks be jettisoned and the controls neutralized.

    Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/20-Scale Model of the Northrop N-9M Airplane (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-11
    Description: Spin tests of a 1/20-scale model of the Northrop N-9M airplane have been performed in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics were determined for various loading conditions and the effect of deflecting the flaps and of extending the landing gear was investigated. The investigation also included tests to determine the size parachute required for satisfactory spin recovery by parachute action alone. The tests were performed at an equivalent spin altitude of 15,000 feet. A specialized recovery technique consisting of rapid full reversal of the rudder pedals against the spin combined with turning the wheel against the spin and movement of the stick forward is recommended for all loadings and configurations of the airplane. The results also indicated that a 7-foot-diameter spin-recovery parachute having a drag coefficient of 0.7 attached to the outboard wing tip with a towline of 10 to 30 feet or an 8.8-foot-diameter parachute attached to the fixed portion of the wing between the elevons and the pitch flaps with a 30-foot towline would provide satisfactory recovery from demonstration spins by parachute action alone. It appears possible that the first N-9M airplane may have crashed because of failure to recover from a spin.

    Calibration Tunnel for High Speed (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-13
    Description: For the nvestigation of measuring instruments at higher speeds up to a Mach number 0.7 a tunnel with closed test section was built in 1942 which was as simple and cheap as possble. The blower was a radial blower with straight sheet vanes of 800-millimeter diameter the tips of which were bent backward a little. The blower sucks the air through a honeycomb of diameter 1.2 neter with wide meshes. The air is then accelerated in a short cone with smooth transition to the test section. The cylindrical test section of 200-milimeter diameter has two windows (which are displaced 180 deg from each other. The instruments may be introduced and observed through and observed through these windows. . The cross section is then enlarged by a straight diffuser 3.5 meters long and reaches the ninefold cross section. The air flows back into the room through a disk diffuser of 2-meter diameter. The maximum speed in the jet is 250 m/s for a drive power of 35 kT., if there are no installations in the jet. The velocity is determined by pressure holed along the test section.

    Theoretical and Experimental Data for a Number of NACA 6A-Series Airfoil Sections (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-11
    Description: The NACA 6A-series airfoil sections were designed to eliminate the trailing-edge cusp which is characteristic of the NACA 6-series sections. Theoretical data are presented for NACA 6A-series basic thickness forms having the position of minimum pressure at 30-, 40-, and 50-percent chord and with thickness ratios varying from 6 percent to 15 percent. Also presented are data for a mean line designed to maintain straight sides on the cambered sections. The experimental results of a two dimensional wind tunnel investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of five NACA 64A-series airfoil sections and two NACA 63A-series airfoil sections are presented. An analysis of these results, which were obtained at Reynolds numbers of 3 x 10(exp 6), 6 x 10(exp 6), and 9 x 10(exp 6), indicates that the section minimum drag and maximum lift characteristics of comparable NACA 6-series and 6A-series airfoil sections are essentially the same. The quarter-chord pitching-moment coefficients and angles of zero lift of NACA 6A-series airfoil sections are slightly more negative than those of corresponding NACA 6-series airfoil sections. The position of the aerodynamic center and the lift-curve slope of smooth NACA 6-series sections. The addition of standard leading-edge roughness causes the lift-curve slope of the newer sections to decrease with increasing airfoil thickness ratio.

    Plane and Three-Dimensional Flow at High Subsonic Speeds (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: For two- and three-dimensional flow in a compressible medium, a simple relation is given by which, to a first approximation, the quantitative influence of compressibility upon the velocities and pressures can be understood in a clear manner. In the application of this relation the distinct behaviors of two-dimensional and axially symmetric three-dimensional flow with increasing Mach number are brought out. For slender elliptic cylinders and ellipsoids of revolution, calculations are made of the critical Mach number; that is, the Mach number at which local sonic velocity is achieved on the body. As a further example, the lifting wing of finite span is considered, and it is shown that the increase of wing lift with Mach number at a given angle of attack is greatly dependent upon the aspect ratio b(exp 2)/F.

    Wind-Tunnel Tests of a Modified Koppers Aeromatic Impeller-Generator Combination, TED No. NACA ARR 2901 (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-11
    Description: An investigation was conducted in the 6- by 6-foot test section of the Langley stability tunnel on a modified Koppers Aeromatic wind-driven impeller-generator combination. This investigation consisted of a few fixed pitch tests and a series of variable pitch tests, The fixed pitch tests indicated that the impeller should operate between the blade-pitch angles of 20 and 32deg at the specified output of 11.7 kilowatts in order to remain within the specified rotational speed of from 5000 to 8000 rpm for airspeeds of from 130 to 175 miles per hour. The requirement that the impeller maintain rotational speeds of - between 5000 and 8000 rpm as the impeller output varied from 0 to ll.7 kilowatts at airspeeds of from 130 to 175 miles per hour was not met at any tims during the variable pitch tests. The main difficulty seemed to be the inability of the impeller blades to change blade-pitch angle smoothly and quickly as load conditions varied. There was some indication that the vibration normally occurring on an airplane might cause the impeller to operate satisfactorily.

    Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Stability of the Jettisonable Nose Section of the X-3 Airplane (1946)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-11
    Description: Because previous work has indicated that jettisonable nose sections of airplanes may be inherently unstable, and thus may cause dangerous centripetal accelerations on a pilot after jettisoning during high-speed flight, an investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel to determine the behavior in descent of a model of the jettisonable nose section of the Douglas X-3 airplane. The effects of varying the center-of-gravity position, of attaching fins of various sizes, and of installing a stabilizing parachute were investigated. In the investigation the model descended with its front and trimmed 36 deg above the horizontal and rotated about a vertical wind axis while rolling about its longitudinal body axis. The nose section was made to descend in a stable front-down attitude when stabilizing fins were installed in conjunction with movement of the center of gravity forward or when a stable parachute was attached to the model.
