Results are given of wind-tunnel tests of a square wing with a lifting fan of 1/44th the wing area located at 0.354 chord. Forces and pressure distributions were measured both on the bare wing and with plain and split ...

Part I contains a general discussion of handling research, the methods currently employed therein, and some of the difficulties encountered. Part II is a review of recent research into lateral-directional handling problems ...

A numerical method of solving the integral equation connecting the lift and downwash on a wing oscillating harmonically in a supersonic flow of any Mach number is described. The integral equation is replaced by a matrix ...

Part I of this report describes a study of the lift interference effect in slotted-wall wind tunnels performed by a pure resistance electrical analogue. Both steady and oscillatory flow are considered. Special techniques ...

A review of the literature on the subject of normal reflection of shock waves at the end of a shock tube is given and indicates that, although many of the phenomena which influence the motion of the reflected shock wave ...

This paper lists one hundred titles which have been published in the R. & M. Series of the Aeronautical Research Council. The Council number is included for the purpose of record only.

Two Life Tests recently suggested by various Government Agencies are described in sections 1 and 4 respectively and the consequences of their application are discussed. It is shown that to satisfy them with some reasonable ...

This paper presents a method of design of a supersonic nozzle which incorporates recent developments in compressible flow theory. Continuous curvature of the contour is ensured by defining a continuous gradient of Prandtl-Meyer ...

Together with some random considerations concerning possible compressor development, data concerning the flow of air at high speeds is presented in this note in a form suitable for use in the design of supersonic axial-flow ...

An optical method has been devised to measure velocity in the flow from an arc-heated wind tunnel. This method does not require the knowledge of any flow condition, and it does not interfere with the flow. Velocity ...
