Overview of the Applied Aerodynamics Division [PDF]
A major reorganization of the Aeronautics Directorate of the Langley Research Center occurred in early 1989. As a result of this reorganization, the scope of research in the Applied Aeronautics Division is now quite different than that in the past.

This study presents the development of a butterfly‐inspired vertical axis wind turbine (BAWT), integrating drag‐ and lift‐based mechanisms inspired by biological structures. By combining Savonius rotors, known for their self‐starting capability and torque stability at low wind speeds, with airfoil blades that enhance performance at higher tip‐speed ...

Turbine vane coolant flow variations and calculated effects on metal temperatures [PDF]
Seventy-two air-cooled turbine vanes were tested to determine coolant flow variations among the vanes. Calculations were made to estimate the effect of measured coolant flow variations on local vane metal temperatures.

Some effects of tip fins on wing flutter characteristics [PDF]
A wind tunnel investigation has been conducted over the Mach number range from about 0.6 to 1.2 to determine the effects of large tip fins on the flutter characteristics of a swept wing.

Cyclic stress analysis of an air-cooled turbine vane [PDF]
The effects of gas pressure level, coolant temperature, and coolant flow rate on the stress-strain history and life of an air-cooled vane were analyzed using measured and calculated transient metal temperatures and a turbine blade stress analysis program.

Cyclic structural analysis of air-cooled gas turbine blades and vanes [PDF]
The creep fatigue behavior of a fully impingement cooled blade for four cyclic cases was analyzed by using the Elas 55, finite element, nonlinear structural computer program.
