Experimental Flutter Investigation of Some Simple Models of a Boost Glide Vehicle Wing at Mach Numbers of 3.0 and 7.3

Results of tests at Mach numbers of 3.0 and 7.3 for possible wing flutter of a series of models of a boost-glide-vehicle wing are presented herein. All of the models were tested at conditions which exceeded the proposed nominal design requirements for the full-scale vehicle; namely, dynamic pressure of 1,000 pounds per square foot at the test Mach numbers. None of the models experienced flutter; therefore, large margins of safety from wing flutter are indicated. However, the effects of body freedoms on the flutter characteristics and local types of flutter were not investigated.

Simple device facilitates inert-gas welding of tubes

Metal Y-tube simultaneously directs argon streams over weld areas on both sides of tubes being joined along a line on their outer periphery. The device is advanced along the junction in step with the welding operation.

Flow ring valve is simple, quick-acting

Two porting rings, one within the other, control gas or liquid flow by using seal buttons as the sliding valve closers. Multiporting within the ring allows close control of the flow by the slight rotation of the outer porting ring.

Simple scale interpolator facilitates reading of graphs

Set of cards with scale divisions and a scale finder permits accurate reading of the coordinates of points on linear or logarithmic graphs plotted on rectangular grids. The set contains 34 different scales for linear plotting and 28 single cycle scales for log plots.

Simple, nondestructive test identifies metals

Rapid, nondestructive test for identifying metals measures the characteristic potential difference produced by galvanic reaction between a reference electrode and the test metal. A drop of water is used as an electrolyte.
