INTRODUCTION
This issue of Aeronautical Engineering -- A Continuing Bibliography (NASA SP-7037) lists 536
reports, journal articles and other documents originally announced in October 1990 in Scientific
and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA).
The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design,
construction, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines)
and associated components, equipment, and systems. It also includes research and development
in aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles.
Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied in
most cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged by the first nine STAR specific
categories and the remaining STAR major categories. This arrangement offers the user the most
advantageous breakdown for individual objectives. The citations include the original accession
numbers from the respective announcement journals. The IAA items will precede the STAR items
within each category.
Seven indexes -- subject, personal author, corporate source, foreign technology, contract
number, report number, and accession number -- are included.
An annual cumulative index will be published.
Information on the availability of cited publications including addresses of organizations and
NTIS price schedules is located at the back of this bibliography.

An experimental investigation is reported on slanted base ogive
cylinders at zero incidence. The Mach number range is 0.05 to 0.3.
All flow disturbances associated with wind tunnel supports are
eliminated in this investigation by magnetically suspending the wind
tunnel models. The sudden and drastic changes in the lift, pitching
moment, and drag for a slight change in base slant angle are reported.
Flow visualization with liquid crystals and oil is used to observe base
flow patterns, which are responsible for the sudden changes in
aerodynamic characteristics. Hysteretic effects in base flow pattern
changes are present in this investigation and are reported. The effect
of a wire support attachment on the 0 deg slanted base model is
studied. Computational drag and transition location results using
VSAERO and SANDRAG are presented and compared with
experimental results. Base pressure measurements over the slanted
bases are made with an onboard pressure transducer using remote
data telemetry. Author

Flight tests were conducted at three different altitudes to detect
transition on a smoothed test region of a swept-wing business jet
wing using surface hot-film sensors and sublimating chemicals.
Strong influence of sweep angle on transition location was observed
when the aircraft was flown at some sideslip conditions to simulate
changes in effective wing sweep angle. No effects of engine noise
on transition were measured when different engine power settings
were used. Flight instrumentation and ground data analysis
techniques are described. Correlation was obtained between the hot-
film sensor signals and sublimating chemicals for.transition detection.
Crossflow vortices were observed for one flight condition. Results of
analyzed data for various flight-test conditions are presented. Author
