Economic Census 2002: Manufacturing, Industry Series. Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing

Dec. 2004; 52 pp.; In English Report No.(s): PB2006-103744; EC02-31I-336413(RV); No Copyright; Avail.: CASI: A04, Hardcopy

This report is about the U.S. industry which consists of establishment primarily engaged in (1) manufacturing aircraft parts or auxiliary equipment (except engines and aircraft fluid power subassemblies)and/or (2) developing and making prototypes of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Auxiliary equipment includes such items as crop dusting apparatus, armament racks, inflight refueling equipment, and external fuel tanks. NTIS

20060007702 National Renewable Energy Lab., Golden, CO USA, Airfoils Inc., Port Matilda, PA, USA

S830, S831, and S832 Airfoils: November 2001--November 2002

Somers, D. M.; Aug. 2005; 100 pp.; In English Report No.(s): DE2005-15020039; NREL/SR-500-36339; No Copyright; Avail.: Department of Energy Information Bridge

A family of quiet, thick, natural-laminar-flow airfoils, the S830, S831, and S832, for 40- to 50-meter-diameter, variable-speed/variable-pitch, horizontal-axis wind turbines has been designed and analyzed theoretically.

The two primary objectives of high maximum lift, relatively insensitive to roughness, and low profile drag have been achieved.

The airfoils should exhibit docile stalls, which meet the design goal.

The constraints on the pitching moment and the airfoils thicknesses have been satisfied. NTIS

20060007703 National Renewable Energy Lab., Golden, CO USA, Airfoils Inc., Port Matilda, PA, USA

S833, S834, and S835 Airfoils: November 2001--November 2002

Smoners, D. M.; Aug. 2005; 96 pp.; In English Report No.(s): DE2005-15020040; NREL/SR-500-36340; No Copyright; Avail.: Department of Energy Information Bridge

A family of quiet, thick, natural-laminar-flow airfoils, the S833, S834, and S835, for 1- to 3-meter-diameter, variable-speed/variable-pitch, horizontal-axis wind turbines has been designed and analyzed theoretically. The two primary objectives of high maximum lift, relatively insensitive to roughness, and low profile drag have been achieved. The airfoils should exhibit docile stalls, which meet the design goal. The constraints on the pitching moment and the airfoils thicknesses have been satisfied. NTIS
