Book Description
Abstract: Four models of a thin magnesium fin, with the leading edge swept back 35°, have been tested in the preflight high-temperature jet of the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Station at Wallops Island, Va., at a Mach number of 2.0 for various stagnation temperatures between 2,310° and 3,500° R. This exploratory investigation was made to determine some effects of aerodynamic heating at high stagnation temperatures on the leading edges of fins and to determine the relative effectiveness of several leading-edge protective schemes.
