Wind Tunnel Investigation at Low Speed of Aerodynamic Characteristics of Army Chemical Corps Model E-112 Bomblets with Span Chord Ratio of 2 - 1
An experimental investigation has been made in the Langley stability tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the Army Chemical Corps model E-112 bomblets with span-chord ratio of 2:1. A detailed analysis has not been made; however, the results showed that all the models were spirally unstable and that a large gap between the model tips and end plates tended to reduce the instability

Wind Tunnel Tests of Ailerons at Various Speeds I : Ailerons of 0.20 Airfoil Chord and True Contour with 0.35 Aileron-chord Extreme Blunt Nose Balance on the NACA 66,2-216 Airfoil
Hinge-moment, lift, and pressure-distribution measurements were made in the two-dimensional test section of the NACA stability tunnel on a blunt-nose balance-type aileron on an NACA 66,2-216 airfoil at speeds up to 360 miles per hour corresponding to a Mach number of 0.475. The tests were made primarily to determine the effect of speed on the action of this type of aileron. The balance-nose radii of the aileron were varied from 0 to 0.02 of the airfoil chord and the gap width was varied from 0.0005 to 0.0107 of the airfoil chord. Tests were also made with the gap sealed
SARS-Like coronavirus WIV1-CoV does not replicate in Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like WIV1-coronavirus (CoV) was first isolated
from Rhinolophus sinicus bats and can use the human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.
In the current study, we investigate the ability of WIV1-CoV to infect Rousettus aegyptiacus bats. No
clinical signs were observed throughout the experiment. Furthermore, only four oropharyngeal swabs
and two respiratory tissues, isolated on day 3 post inoculation, were found positive for viral RNA.
Two out of twelve bats showed a modest increase in coronavirus specific antibodies post challenge.
In conclusion, WIV1-CoV was unable to cause a robust infection in Rousettus aegyptiacus bats

NACA Advanced Confidential Reports
Report presenting hinge moment, lift, and pressure-distribution measurements made on a Frise aileron on an NACA 23012 airfoil in the two-dimensional test section of the stability tunnel. Speeds up to 360 miles per hour corresponding to a Mach number of about 0.470 were used
