NASA/Kentron SSBJ studies from early 80s - looking for CRs

[flateric]

Do anyone have Kentron's contractor reports on 1980-1985 four studies of supersonic executive jets that Kentron made with NASA LRS back then? Thanks to senator Wolf, they are not any more at NTRS.Of course, they must be kept secret apart from hundred pages of fresh LM and Boeing and LM N+2 N+3 supersonic studies reports that available everywhere in quantities.

If you want to advise me "Compilation and Review of Supersonic Business Jet Studies from 1963 through 1995" - I already have it, thanks

anyone?

Nope, again. Maybe one of our SSBJ fans e.g. blackkite?

Apparently NTIS will sell you a copy, print on demand, for $48.

How dare they? Offering them for free, withdrawing them all and then charging for them... Takes some cheek.

If the copies are made from the selfsame lousy scans that NTRS has had in the past (and why wouldn't they?), then it's certainly not worth that much money...

Facing US government's debts of more than 1,100 billion US $ (around 840 billiion €) WE ALL (and not just
all forum members !) should buy those copies ! It may be the only way to safe such services for the future !

Just sent you "N-6". Check your e-mail...

As an aside, I have ANOTHER NASA/Kentron study which I don't think you listed here (perhaps you have it already?):

[NASA - Kentron] Roughness and Waviness Requirements for Laminar Flow Surfaces
Clifford J. Obara
PRC Kentron Incorporated
Hampton, VA
Bruce J. Holmes
NASA Langley Research Center
Hampton, VA
(N88-14953)

 

[Stargazer]

Two other studies that might be of interest (although not with Kentron and a bit earlier) are these:


CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ADVANCED SUPERSONIC TECHNOLOGY AST-I05-CONFIGURED FOR TRANSPACIFIC
RANGE WITH PRATT AND WHITNEY AIRCRAFT VARIABLE STREAM CONTROL ENGINES
HAL T. BABER, JR.
March 1979
NASA Technical Memorandum 78818
(NASA-TM-78818 19790015717)


PRELIMINARY NOISE TRADEOFF STUDY OF A MACH 2.7 CRUISE AIRCRAFT
STAFF OF THE LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER
April 1979
NASA Technical Memorandum 78732
(NASA-TM-78732 19790013697)

Want them?

 

[Stargazer]

Hooray! Just got my hands on your "N-8". Sending it too...

Cool! Thanks, Stephane!
