NACA Conference on High-speed Aerodynamics. a Compilation of Papers Presented

This document contains reproductions of technical papers presented by staff members of the NACA Laboratories at the NACA Conference on High-Speed Aerodynamics held at the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory of the NACA, March 18, 19, and 20, 1958. The primary purpose of the conference was to convey to the military services and their contractors the results of recent research and to provide those attending with an opportunity to discuss the results.

Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference, 2nd, Palo Alto and Moffett Field, Calif., September 11-13, 1972, Informal Papers.

Limitations in the acquisition of nonlinear aerodynamic coefficients from free-oscillation data by means of the Chapman-Kirk technique, SAM-D control test vehicle trajectory plannning and flight test analysis, and determination of aerodynamic drag from radar data are among the topics covered in papers concerned with atmospheric flight mechanics. Other areas covered include fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, ordnance and reentry vehicles, and analysis and measurement techniques. Individual items are announced in this issue.

The use of paper honeycomb for prototype blade construction for small to medium-sized wind driven generators

Paper honeycomb is used for the construction of conventional, propeller-type, windmill blades. Using fairly simple techniques and conventional power tools, it is possible to shape both simple foils and more complex foils with or without tapered plan forms and with or without varying profiles. A block of honeycomb, in its compressed form, is mounted on a wedge and run through a bandsaw with the table at an appropriate tilt angle. It is the combination of the wedge angle and the table angle that gives the tapered planform and profile shape. Next the honeycomb is expanded on the shaft and jigged to give the desired angles of attack. With the honeycomb fixed in position, the blade is covered with a fine weave fiberglass cloth. Any surface quality can then be achieved with filling and sanding.

Mixing zones studies of the waste water discharge from the Consolidated Paper Company into the Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin

Effluent concentration distributions from the waste water discharge of the Kraft Division Mill, Consolidated Paper Company, into the Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, is investigated. Effluent concentrations were determined from measurements of the temperature distribution, using temperature as a tracer. Measurements of the velocity distribution in the vicinity of the outfall were also made. Due to limitations in the extent of the field observations, the analysis and comparison of the measurements is limited to the region within about 300 feet from the outfall. Effects of outfall submergence, of buoyancy and momentum of the effluent and of the pattern and magnitude of river currents on these characteristics are considered.

Comments on papers by Reichert and Wong

Papers of Reichert and Wong (1971) and Reichert (1972) are referred to as erroneous in stating that in their work with cytochrome c sequences they demonstrated that vertebrates have achieved a higher organized genetic message with a higher fidelity in the DNA-to-protein information processing channel. Arguments are given to contest that statement.
