Abstract Text:
Longitudinal handling qualities in the landing approach are studied. The T-33 variable stability and variable drag airplane was used in a flight program to evaluate various short period dynamics, phugoid dynamics, drag characteristics and elevator control authority levels. The first phase of the flight program was directed mainly at longitudinal short period dynamics, drag variation with angle of attack and elevator control authority. The second phase of the flight program was directed at phugoid dynamics, short period frequency, elevator control authority and drag characteristics. Drag variations with angle of attack, airspeed and elevator deflection were considered. Pilot ratings and comments are related to the airplane characteristics tests.

Abstract Text:
A nonlinear optimal feedback control scheme for controlling a vehicle re-entering the earth's atmosphere from lunar return initial conditions is reported. The optimal feedback control law used in the scheme is obtained from a multi-dimensional surface fit of the control function for several optimal trajectories. Partials of the control with respect to the state vector are included in the fitting procedure. The functional minimized by the trajectories is the total (convective plus radiative) stagnation point heat. The feedback control scheme is developed, and several re-entry trajectories are simulated. Modest increasing total heat from optimal values are observed, and large (although tolerable) terminal point errors occur. It is believed that the terminal errors can be greatly reduced, if necessary. A powerful predictor scheme is developed which allows optimal a function of a parameter. This is used to extend the range of an optimal trajectory, to perform an absolute minimum test, and to map the optimal re-entry corridor. Sufficiency tests for a relative minimum are mechanized, and it is shown that the trajectories considered are minimizing paths.

Preliminary Development of a Solid-State Matrix Display
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-5 Author(s): B. J. Lechner, et al. Corporate Author: Radio Corporation of America Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 1/1/1967 Pages: 150 Contract: AF 33(615)-1493 Project: 6190 Task: 619009 AD Number: AD0649553 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
The use of ferroelectric transchargers as storage and control elements in an electroluminescent matrix display is reported. Research on display panel circuitry led to control circuits useful for solid-state matrix display. In these circuits, ferroelectric elements provide analog storage and control energization of electroluminescent cells in accordance with stored analog signals. The ferroelectric, in conjunction with a diode, provides a selection threshold which permits the element to be addressed in a matrix by voltage coincidence. The new circuits give greatly improved brightness and contrast compared with previous ferroelectric control circuits. Transcharger circuits with logic capability have also been developed; such circuits are especially useful for bar graph, moving pointer, and similar displays. Three experimental model displays demonstrated brightness as high as 48 ft-L; contrast ratio in excess of 100:1; geometric resolution as great as 10-elements per in.; capability for producing a gray scale; and a frame rate which allows continuity of motion without blurring or flicker. The performance of these models demonstrates the potential of using ferroelectric control circuits and electroluminescent elements for high-brightness, high-resolution, all solid-state matrix displays.

Development of High Contrast Electroluminescent Techniques for Aircraft Displays
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-6 Author(s): Carlton J. Peterson; Hugh A. Smith Corporate Author: Bunker-Ramo Corporation Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 4/1/1966 Pages: 38 Contract: AF 33(657)-8600 Project: 6190 Task: 619009 AD Number: AD0637460 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
This paper outlines the steps taken to develop a new display technology capable of meeting display requirements of future manned weapon systems. A description is made in the first part of this paper identifying the basic concept and resulting development of high-contrast electroluminescent (EL) displays both from an engineering and psychophysical standpoint. The problem of display legibility, quite often confused with display brightness, is also discussed with respect to its effect on the limitations of EL displays. Finally, information is presented identifying how this limitation was overcome and why such progress is considered to be an important contribution to the development of solid-state displays. The second part of this paper describes the human factors aspects of the high-contrast EL program. The inherent weakness of transilluminated displays, the variables related to readability, the effects of the anticipated upper limits of environmental lighting, and the study of one of the first high-contrast EL displays are discussed.

Pressure Distribution During Parachute Opening. Phase 1. Infinite Mass Operating Case
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-10 Author(s): Melzig, H. D.; Schmidt, P. K. Corporate Author: Deutsche Forschungsanstalt Fuer Luft- Und Raumfahrt E V Brunswick (Germany Fr) Inst Fuer Flugmechanik Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 3/1/1966 Pages: 138 Contract: AF 61(052)-681 Project: 6065 Task: 60653 AD Number: AD0482534 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
An experimental investigation and correlative analysis were conducted to determine the pressure distribution over the surface of parachute canopies during the period of inflation for the infinite mass case and to correlate pressure coefficients with inflating canopy shapes. Parachute canopy models of Circular Flat, 10% Extended Skirt, Ringslot, and Ribbon designs were tested under infinite mass conditions in a 9 x 10 ft low speed wind tunnel. External and internal pressure values were measured at various locations over the surface of the model canopies throughout the period of inflation, and generalized canopy profile shapes were obtained by means of photographic analysis. Pressure coefficients derived for the steady state (fully open canopy) are quite comparable to the results of previous measurements. Peak pressure values during the unsteady period of inflation were found to be up to 5 times as great as steady state values. The relationships between the pressure distribution and time for each of the canopy models deployed at free-stream velocities between 70 and 160 ft/sec. are presented.

Low Pressure Measurement Techniques
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-11 Author(s): Herbert A. Painter Corporate Author: Electro-Optical Systems, Inc. Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 7/1/1966 Pages: 117 Contract: AF 33(615)-1838 Project: 1469 Task: 146907 AD Number: AD0802195 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
This project was initiated to develop four prototype pressure transducers in the range of 0.0 to 0.1 psia for Wright-Patterson AFB. The design selected makes use of a convoluted diaphragm force collector to drive a cantilever beam. A semiconductor strain gage bridge bonded to the beam converts the force to an electrical signal which is amplified to provide a 0 to 5V dc output. The results presented demonstrate achievement of essentially all requirements, save high-temperature transient performance. It is apparent from the results of this project that an accurate 0.0 to 0.1 psia transducer of low weight and reasonably high natural frequency can be produced. Achievement of higher operating temperature and natural frequency is possible.

Stiffness and Vibration Characteristics of Inflatable Delta Wing Models at Temperatures up to 650 Degrees F
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-14 Author(s): Samuel J. Pollock Corporate Author: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 6/1/1966 Pages: 108 Contract: AF 33(615)-1880 Project: 1370 Task: 137003 AD Number: AD0803266 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
Stiffness and vibration data were obtained on inflatable Airmat models for various internal pressures from 2 to 10 psi and temperatures up to 650 F. The semi-span 65 deg delta wing models were woven from stainless steel monofilament wire and coated with high temperature silicone elastomer. Deflection and vibration characteristics were predicted using shear theory. Vibration predictions were also made using measured influence coefficients. Shear theory agreed with experimentation for deflections due to uniform load except near the leading edge where experimental deflections were smaller due to the stiffening effect of the rounded edges. Correlation of shear theory prediction for vibration frequencies with experiment improved as internal pressure increased to 10 psi. Vibration calculations using measured small deflection influence coefficients agreed with experimentation. Model vibration frequencies decreased as temperature was increased from 70 F to about 300 F. From 300 F to 650 F, vibration frequencies increased. At 650 F, the vibration frequency for a model without ceramic frits in the silicone elastomer coating was 32% higher than the room temperature frequency; for a model with ceramic frits the frequency was 10% lower. Mode shapes did not change appreciably with temperature. Structural damping coefficients decreased with increasing temperature.

Abstract Text:
The temperature distribution within a sector of a hollow circular cylinder with temperature dependent thermophysical properties was analyzed based on exact mathematical solution. The subject nonlinear differential equation was reduced to a linear differential equation by an integral transform and with the assumption that only the thermal conductivity is a function of temperature whereas the thermal diffusivity remains constant. The solution was programmed in FORTRAN 4 for application to an IBM 7094. In addition, a successive transform applicable to the solution of similar problems involving temperature dependent thermal diffusivity is illustrated and discussed.

Analysis And Experimental Evaluation Of An Ultra-High Temperature Pyrolytic Graphite Thermocouple

Corporate Author: Raytheon Co Waltham Ma Research Div Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 6/1/1966 Pages: 40 Contract: AF 33(615)-2650 Project: 1469 Task: 146907 AD Number: AD0802214 Photo Enhancement: Not Needed
Abstract Text:
This report is made up of three segments as follows: (1) A theoretical analysis of thermoelectricity along graphite layer planes. It is shown how the TEP can be derived from first principles using the Slonczewski-Weiss description of the graphite band structure. From the density of state equation we derive rigorous indications on the energy dependence of the scattering parameter, which allow us to undertake valid comparisons with experimental results. (2) Chapter II summarizes the experimental procedure. Great care was taken in order to arrive at reliable Seebeck coefficients. Thermocouple work was plagued by experimental difficulties (furnace conductance) of a similar nature as experienced by other investigators. (3) Finally, measured TEP was assessed in the light of the theory developed in Chapter I. New light is thus shed upon critical parameters such as the mobility ratio, which leads to a much improved description of transport in pyrolytic graphite and alloys of pyrolytic graphite. It is demonstrated that BPG/PG thermocouples are intrinsically capable of delivering exceptionally favorable output characteristics; a reduction to practice will require further efforts, in particular in connection with proper test-furnace design.

Investigation Of Space Package Alightment Dynamic Load Design Criteria
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-33 Author(s): York, K. C.; Ingels, C. R.; Maloney, J. G. Corporate Author: General Dynamics Corp Pomona Ca Pomona Div Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 10/1/1966 Pages: 400 Contract: AF 33(615)-1832 Project: 1370 Task: 137008 AD Number: AD0806838 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
This report presents the results of a limited parametric study of ten space package alightment systems. A state-of-the-art review in alightment dynamics was conducted prior to beginning the parametric study. Two three-dimensional digital simulations were developed for use in the parametric study. Each of these simulates a basic design concept of an alightment system. Two types of alightment systems were examined. One for a 300 pound capsule with electronic cargo and one for a 3000 pound capsule with human cargo. An experimental program was performed to permit a comparison of predicted and measured acceleration time histories during alightment. Generally, excellent correlation was shown. Energy absorbing material or techniques are shown to be a secondary consideration in determining the efficiency of an alightment system. A three-dimensional digital simulation of alightment dynamics is concluded to be mandatory in the development of an alightment system. The feasibility of an alightment system, weighing 6 percent of the total capsule weight, to alight successfully on a 35 degree slope with a 12 degree capsule inclination is shown. Such a system is capable of handling a vertical velocity of 35 feet per second and a horizontal velocity of 15 feet per second.

Methods of Calculating Aerodynamic Loads on Aircraft Structures: Part I - Wing-Body Interference Effects
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-37 Part 1 Author(s): Christopher J. Borland Corporate Author: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 8/1/1966 Pages: 212 Contract: AF 33(615)-2291 Project: 1367 Task: 136715 AD Number: AD0807297 Photo Enhancement: Not Needed
Abstract Text:
Methods are proposed for calculating the distribution of aerodynamic loads due to mutual interference effects between wings and bodies. The methods fall into two ranges of applicability: linear, and nonlinear, with angle of attack. Applicability of the linear loads methods to aeroelastic calculations is discussed. A computer program is presented which may be used to calculate interference loads at subsonic Mach numbers on a configuration consisting of (1) a body of any varying elliptic cross section and camber distribution, and (2) a wing with straight leading and trailing edges of any sweep angle, twist distribution, and camber distribution, located above or below the body centerline. Extension to the supersonic case is indicated. Generally good agreement with experimental data is found. Nonlinear wing-body interference loads are also considered. Several possible methods of representing the separated flow about a wing-body combination are proposed, and analyzed by the slender body theory. Numerical procedures are outlined, and some comparisons with experimental data are made.

Abstract Text:
Operation of a facility for measuring cage and inner race temperatures of lightly-loaded 20-mm angular-contact ball bearings at high speed and vacuum is described. Results of tests on 440C ball bearings with MoS2-epoxy compact cages at 300 F and with Niresist cages coated with MoS2-graphite-sodium silicate solid film at 600 F are given. The latter bearings, for the short (about 1 hour) test time, ran smoother and with less raceway damage than did the bearings with the epoxy-MoS2 cages.

Aerodynamic Noise Simulation In Sonic Fatigue Facility
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-112 Author(s): Lyon, R. H.; Gordon, C. G.; Stern, R.; Wiener, F. M. Corporate Author: Bolt Beranek And Newman Inc Cambridge Mass Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 11/1/1966 Pages: 72 Contract: AF 33(615)-1290 Project: 4437 Task: 443701 AD Number: AD0648022 Photo Enhancement: Not Needed
Abstract Text:
The possibility of simulating a turbulent boundary-layer noise environment using the air-flow capability of the RTD Sonic Fatigue Facility is investigated. The philosophy is adopted that it is the mechanical power absorbed by the structure from the environment that is to be duplicated. Calculations are developed that allow the prediction of the mechanical power injected into a structure by a turbulent boundary layer (TBL), and by a turbulent wall-jet. The possibility of replacing the power injected by the TBL by using turbulent wall-jets impinging on a structural model of a section of a supersonic transport is studied. Results indicate that high-frequency excitation (above 1kHz) can be adequately simulated, but that the air-flow capabilities of the facility would be exceeded by an attempt to excite a structure as large as the one chosen by a set of wall-jets at lower frequencies.

Measurement And Analyses Of The J57-P21 Noise Field
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-147 Author(s): Hermes, P. H.; Smith, D. L. Corporate Author: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 10/1/1966 Pages: 136 Contract: Laboratory Research - No Contract Project: 1471 Task: 147102 AD Number: AD0648072 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
A noise survey of a J57-P21 turbojet engine was conducted to provide a basis for the development of a refined empirical noise prediction technique. The measurements were obtained at 65 locations for 5 engine power settings. The 1/3 octave and overall sound pressure levels (SPL's) for each location and engine power setting are presented. SPL contours are presented for overall and selected 1/3 octave bandwidths. Ground reflection effects on the 1/3 octave band SPL's are evaluated. Comparisons are made with other existing data. Differences of up to 15 decibels (db) are found when comparing the 1/3 octave band levels. Velocity exponents (n), based on the Lighthill parameter, are presented for each location and compared with existing data. Poor agreement is found among the measurement programs. The effect of ground reflection on the n values is investigated and an n field is presented in which interference effects are eliminated. The effect of varying noise directional properties with jet velocity on the n values is evaluated. An n field, corrected for both ground reflection and varying noise directional properties, is presented. This essentially constant n field clearly indicates the heavy dependence of the n values on noise directional changes with jet velocity. The corrected n field equation is considered the basis of a noise prediction method which appears to be accurate for jet flows with exit Mach numbers ranging from 0.5 to 2.0

The Development And Evaluation Of The Cal/Air Force Dynamic Wind-Tunnel Testing System. Part I. Description And Dynamic Tests Of An F-80 Model
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-153 Part 1 Author(s): Statler, Irving C.; Tufts, Orren B.; Hirtreiter, Walter J.

Abstract Text:
The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) system provides a unique mounting through which a model can be forced precisely in any desired planar sinusoidal motion. The versatility and overall accuracy of the CAL/Air Force dynamic testing system was demonstrated during a series of wind-tunnel tests. These tests permitted, for the first time, a measurement of the separate components of the rotary damping moment. The moment due to rate of change of angle of attack was measured by oscillating the model in pure plunging motion. The moment due to pitch rate was measured during pitching motion. The sum of these is compared with the total rotary damping moment as measured in rotation. Comparisons of data taken at two frequencies and four Mach numbers indicate that the components are accurate to within plus or minus ten percent of the total rotary damping moment. The results are compared with theory, flight test data, and other wind-tunnel measurements on the same and similar models. Future applications of this equipment are reviewed, particularly with regard to its use as a research tool to support basic investigations for the development of theoretical or semiempirical methods for predicting dynamic stability characteristics of aircraft at transonic speeds.

Abstract Text:
The F-104 model was designed and fabricated by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory and incorporated an unusual force and motion sensing system utilizing an internal dummy model with duplicate mass, inertia, and c.g. location. Longitudinal dynamic tests were performed with this model up through the transonic speed range. The results are evaluated with respect to the operation of the dynamic testing system and to the performance of the dummy model for measuring motion and canceling inertial loads.

Abstract Text:
Type 3 (low pressure) expandable aircraft tires of the 9.50-16 and 23.00-20 sizes were investigated. These tires with their 30 to 50 percent outside diameter expansion capabilities were subjected to simulated landing taxi and taxi takeoff conditions. Results indicate that the load capacity and life of the expandable tires are equivalent to standard tires of the same size. Takeoff speeds on the order of 200 MPH were obtained on tires of both sizes.

Measurement Of The Diffraction Correction Of The Gulton Model P420m-6 Microphone
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-223 Author(s): Ortega, Jose C. Corporate Author: Western Electro-Acoustic Lab Inc Santa Monica CA Laboratory: Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 5/1/1967 Pages: 42 Contract: AF 33(615)-3746 Project: 1472 Task: 147203 AD Number: AD0816179 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
The methods and instrumentation used to obtain the diffraction correction for the Gulton P420M-6 microphone are described. The diffraction correction was measured for two microphone mounting configurations at several angles of sound incidence over the frequency range 400 cps to 25K cps. In addition, the random incidence response for the Gulton P420M-6 microphone was obtained over the same frequency range. Analysis of the measured data shows that the precision of the measurements is very good below 15K cps (standard deviation being within plus or minus .6 db) and gradually decreases at higher frequencies (standard deviation being plus or minus 1.2 db at 20K cps and +3.9 db, -7.4 db at 25K cps). The pressure calibration for the Gulton P420M-6 microphone was obtained using the well known coupler method and also using an electrostatic actuator. The results of these measurements show that the electrostatic actuator method of calibration produces reliable results when used with the Gulton microphone.

Investigation Of Ablation Effects On Hypersonic Dynamic Stability Of A 10 Deg. Cone.
Report Number: AFFDL TR 66-230 Author(s): Moore, Dave R.; Stalmach,Charles J. , Jr.; Pope, Thomas C. Corporate Author: LTV Aerospace Corp Dallas Tex LTV Vought Aeronautics Div Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 1/1/1967 Pages: 88 Contract: AF 33(615)-2902 Project: 8219 Task: 821902 AD Number: AD0656492 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
An experimental program has been conducted in the LTV Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel at M = 17 to investigate the effects of ablation product characteristics and thermal lags on re-entry vehicle dynamic stability. The free oscillation method of dynamic stability measurement was used and the ablation processes were simulated by the controlled mass injection through four sections of the porous model skin. The flow rates through the top and bottom quadrants were oscillated at the same frequency and at an amplitude proportional to the model motion. The thermal lag effect was investigated with nitrogen injection into nitrogen tunnel flow at several different mass flow rates and phase angles between the oscillating mass flow and the body motion. The ablation product study was conducted by injecting gases other than nitrogen with specific heat ratio and molecular weight being the test parameters in addition to mass flow rate. The results obtained from these tests indicate significant effect on dynamic stability with both injection phase angle and some characteristics of the injected gas. The effects of model frequency, Reynolds number and mass injection distribution were also investigated and some static pressure measurements were made near the aft of the model. Appendices to the report contain tabulations of the pertinent data and discussions of supporting analytical studies and data analysis.
