Investigation of two pitot-static tubes at supersonic speeds

The results of tests at a Mach number of 1.94 of an ogives-nose cylindrical pitot-static tube and similar tests at Mach numbers of 1.93 and 1.62 of a service pitot-static tube to determine body static pressures and indicated Mach numbers are presented and discussed. The radial pressure distribution on the cylindrical bodies is compared with that calculated by an approximate theory.

Evaluation of Propulsion Systems for Mach 2.4 and 3.2 High Speed Civil Transports

Advanced technology high speed civil transport (HSCT) engine cycles equipped with low emissions combustors and low noise exhaust nozzles were investigated. The objectives were as follows: (1) evaluate a range of cycle variables for engine types appropriate for Mach 2.4 and 3.2 HSCT; (2) select the most promising propulsion systems; and (3) identify and define the critical/key technology development and demonstration programs needed to be conducted prior to initiation of the product engine development and certification program. Two types of variable engines were studied: turbine bypass engines (TBE) and variable stream control engines (VSCE). This study identified payoffs in terms of aircraft gross weight, airline economics, stratospheric cruise emissions, and airport noise improvements. Comparison between the the TBE and VSCE showed the TBE to be clearly superior for Mach 2.4 and 3.2 cruise cruise operation. Critical technology areas were also identified which included the following: (1) Low emissions combustor; (2) Low noise exhaust system; (3) High temperature materials and coatings; (4) Advanced turbine cooling and aerodynamics; (5) Integrated propulsion system (inlet/engine/nozzle) and airframe controls; (6) Advanced fan/compressor aerodynamics; and (7) Magnetic bearings.

Investigation of a Half-Conical Scoop Inlet Mounted at Five Alternate Circumferential Locations around a Circular Fuselage Pressure-Recovery Results at a Mach Number 2.01

The effects of inlet circumferential position around the fuselage on the characteristics of a half-conical scoop inlet having a 24.6deg half-angle cone have been investigated in the langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel. Pressure-recovery results have been obtained at a Mach number of 2.01 for a fixed boundary-layer-bleed height which was 60 percent of the boundary-layer thickness at an angle of attack of 0deg, and for cowling position parameters of 42.4deg and 38.0deg. inlet had a capture area equal to 24.9 percent of the basic-fuselage frontal area. The angle of attack was varied from 0deg to 12deg. The most favorable pressure-recovery characteristics at angles of attack were obtained with the Inlet located on the bottom of the fuselage where the maximum recovery increased from a value of 81 percent at an angle of attack of 0deg to 87 percent at 12deg. In general, the pressure recovery decreased with increasing angle of attack for all other inlet locations. At a given angle of attack the pressure recovery decreased as the inlet location was progressively moved from the bottom to the top of the fuselage. Stable subcritical operation of the inlet with nearly constant pressure recovery was obtained for inlet mass-flow ratios from 1.0 to about 0.76 at an angle of attack of 0deg with the central body in the design position.

As Investigation at Mach Numbers of 1.41 and 2.01 of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of an 0.025-scale Model of the MX-1712

An investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of an 0.025-scale model of the MX-1712 configuration has been conducted in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel. The tests were performed at Mach numbers of 1.41 and 2.01 at a Reynolds number of approximately 2.6 x 10(exp 6) based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord The MX-1712 is a proposed swept-wing, jet-powered supersonic bomber aircraft. The wing is of aspect ratio 3.5, taper ratio 0.2, and thickness ratio 5.5 percent (streamwise) and has 47deg sweep of the quarter-chord line. The longitudinal and lateral force characteristics of the model and various combinations of its components, including several nacelle installations, were investigated. The effects of a modified wing, two horizontal tail positions, and a shortened fuselage were also studied. The results obtained from these investigations are presented in this report. The aerodynamic investigation of this model disclosed no unusual stability characteristics or Mach number effects. The choice of nacelle installations appears to be a major decision, one greatly affecting the performance of the airplane, At M = 1.41 and C(sub L) = 0.1, the buried nacelles increased the drag of the basic model by 9 percent, while the best pod nacelles increased the drag of the basic model by 27 percent.
