NACA Research Memorandums

Report presenting testing of two two-blade propellers in the 8-foot high-speed tunnel for a range of blade angles and Mach numbers. The results show that changes in thrust loading due to compressibility effects were much smaller for the thin-blade propeller than for the thick-blade propeller

NACA Research Memorandums

Report presenting an investigation of three NACA 1-series nose inlets at subsonic and transonic speeds in the 8-foot transonic tunnel. Drag, surface-pressure, and pressure-recovery measurements and schileren photographs were obtained at zero angle of attack through a range of Mach numbers and mass-flow-ratios. Results regarding tunnel boundary interference, surface pressure distribution, external drag, and pressure recovery are provided

Report presenting an investigation of an NACA 1-80-100 nose inlet fitted alternately with an elliptical, a parabolic, a 14 degree-inch conical, and a 22 degree-inch conical central body at subsonic and transonic speeds in the 8-foot transonic tunnel. Drag, surface-pressure, and pressure-recovery measurements were obtained at 0 degrees angle of attack through a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding tunnel boundary interference, surface-pressure distribution, external drag, pressure recovery, and propulsive thrust comparison are provided

Some internal-flow characteristics at zero flight speed of an annular supersonic inlet and an open-nose inlet with sharp and rounded lips /

Static tests of an annular conical-shock inlet and an open-nose conical inlet with three lip shapes were conducted at the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel. Measurements of pressure recovery, surface pressure, and total pressure were made through a mass-flow range extending to choking. The results indicate that the two inlets with thin sharp lips had about the same relatively poor pressure-recovery characteristics and choked at a mass-flow rate of about 78 percent of the theoretical maximum. However, both the pressure recovery and choking mass-flow rate were greatly improved by replacing the sharp lip by two alternate shapes with lip roundness and internal contraction just behind the inlet lip."July 6, 1954."Includes bibliographical references (p. 7).Static tests of an annular conical-shock inlet and an open-nose conical inlet with three lip shapes were conducted at the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel.
