This paper discusses the rolling effectiveness of deflected fins, flaps, spoilers, and jet devices which may be employed on fin-stabilized vehicles. The possible applications and some of the significant factors affecting the performance of each device are described. The experimental information has been published previously and was obtained chiefly from free-flight tests of fin-stabilized vehicles at Mach numbers up to approximately 2.0. Comparisons are made in some cases with existing theory, which is also relied upon to indicate trends where data are not available.

This volume compiles information from physics, metallurgy, and mechanical and electrical engineering to epitomize the fundamental characteristics of flat rolling steel. Flat Rolling Fundamentals is drawn from in-depth analyses of metal properties and behaviors to technologies in application. The book provides a full characterization of steel, including structure, chemical composition, classifications, physical properties, deformation, and plasticity. The authors present different types of rolling mills and the defining physical analytical parameters.They also discuss the effects of hot rolling on steel and the role of lubrication and thermomechanical treatments to minimize these effects. This book presents qualitative and quantitative advances in cost-effective steel production.

An analytical investigation has been made to determine the dynamic longitudinal and lateral stability and response of the HL-10 entry vehicle with particular reference to low-speed, high-angle-of-attack conditions. The calculations were made for light and heavy wing loadings for both sea level altitude flight. The results indicate that the HL-10 vehicle was dynamically longitudinally and laterally stable for the conditions investigated but that artificial damping in pitch and roll was required for some conditions in order to achieve a satisfactory degree of stability based on military handling qualities specifications for piloted airplanes.

A strain energy theory is developed for the calculation of the critical load for the inward bulge type of general instability of reinforced monocoque cylinders subjected to pure bending. The deflected shape at buckling is assumed to be represented by an expression containing eight free parameters in addition to the two characterizing the wave lengths of the circumferential and axial directions. The theory is applied to two representative cylinders of the GALCIT test series and to two of the PIBAL series. The critical stresses calculated are 8.3 to 22.9 percent higher than the experimental values.

The Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Division has made an investigation to determine some effects of external wing tip tanks on the rolling effectiveness and drag of plain and half-delta tip ailerons on a 4-percent-thick, tapered, unswept wing. The investigation was made by means of a rocket-propelled models in free flight over a range of Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.5.
