Surface Flow on a Model of the X-15 at M=6.8

Ogladaj Czas: 10:29

This test was conducted in the NASA Langley Research Center's 11-Inch Hypersonic Tunnel. The model of the X-15 is 1/50-scale and is coated with mineral oil and fluorescent dye. The development and early testing of the X-15 was primarily at NACA, now NASA, Langley Research Center. For more on the ...

Two-Dimensional Scramjet Inlet Unstart Model: Wind-Tunnel Blockage and Actuation Systems Test

Ogladaj Czas: 10:54

This supplement to NASA TM 109152 shows the Schlieren video (10 min. 52 sec., color, Beta and VHS) of the external flow field and a portion of the internal flow field of a two-dimensional scramjet inlet model in the NASA Langley 20-Inch Mach 6 Tunnel. The intent of the overall test program is to ...

High Temperature Oxidation and Ignition of Metals

Ogladaj Czas: 5:29

NACA researcher Paul Hill presented his work in oxidation and ignition of metals at a NACA Conference, November 1-3, 1955. His work was one considered confidential. Metal rods 5/8 an inch in diameter are burned in a Mach 2.0 jet at the 11-Inch Hypersonic Tunnel. Footage shows the effect of ...

Ground Vibration Tests of the XH-17 Dynamic Helicopter

Ogladaj Czas: 9:46

The video shows preliminary data of a 1/10-scale dynamic model of the HX-17 helicopter to investigate its rotor blade flutter and ground vibrations characteristics. The test was conducted at NASA Langley Research Center in the 11 Inch Hypersonic Tunnel. gis.larc.nasa.gov

Low-Speed Flight Tests of Hypersonic Boost-Glide Airplane Models

Ogladaj Czas: 6:19

The test demonstrates low-speed flight tests, as well as the effect of static margin on dynamic longitudinal stability and control using three Hypersonic Boost-Glide Airplane models. The test was conducted at NASA Langley Research Center in the Full Scale Tunnel. gis.larc.nasa.gov
