    Flight Measurements of Stick Vibration of the YG-1B Autogiro Equipped with Tapered Rotor Blades (1940)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-05
    Description: Records were made in f1iht of the periodic variation in the load in the control system of a YG-1B autogiro fitted with a new set of tapered rotor blades designed to eliminate periodic blade twist. Comparison with similar records obtained previously in tests of the ori6inal blades shows that the new blades considerably reduce the vibration of the control stick.

    Experimental Determination of Exhaust Gas Thrust, Special Report (1940)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: This investigation presents the results of tests made on a radial engine to determine the thrust that can be obtained from the exhaust gas when discharged from separate stacks and when discharged from the collector ring with various discharge nozzles. The engine was provided with a propeller to absorb the power and was mounted on a test stand equipped with scales for measuring the thrust and engine torque. The results indicate that at full open throttle at sea level, for the engine tested, a gain in thrust horsepower of 18 percent using separate stacks, and 9.5 percent using a collector ring and discharge nozzle, can be expected at an air speed of 550 miles per hour.

    Flight Tests of Exhaust Gas Jet Propulsion, Special Report (1940)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: Flight test s were conducted on the XP-41 airplane, equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R1830-19, 14-cylinder, air-cooled engine, to determine the increase in flight speed obtainable by the use of individual exhaust stacks directed rearwardly to obtain exhaust-gas thrust. Speed increases up to 18 miles per hour at 20,000 feet altitude were obtained using stacks having an exit area of 3.42 square inches for each cylinder. A slight increase in engine power and decrease in cylinder temperature at a given manifold pressure were obtained with the individual stacks as compared with a collector-ring installation. Exhaust-flame visibility was quite low, particularly in the rich range of fuel-air ratios.
