INTRODUCTION This issue of Aeronautica/Engineering -- A Continuing Bibliography (NASA SP-7037) lists 640 reports, journal articles and other documents originally announced in December 1986 in Scientific and Technica/ Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, construc- tion, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines) and as- sociated 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/AA itemswill precede the STAR items withineach category Seven indexes -- subject, personal author,corporate source, foreign technology, contract number, report number, and accession number -- are included. An annual cummulative index will be published.

PUBLICATION DATE SIOCHI Apr. 1985"*- 191 p refs CONTRACT NUMBER ------(Contract NAG1-300) f AVAILABILITY SOURCE REPORT NUMBERS ---._(NASA-CR-176231; NAS 1.28:176231) Avail: NTIS HC A09/MF _ PRICE CODE AOI_CSCL 01C COSATI CODE _ The aircraft industry has long been concerned with the increase of drag on airplanes due to fouling of the wings by insects. The present research studied the effects of surface energy and surface roughness on the phenomenon of insect sticking. Aluminum plates of different roughnesses were coated with thin films of polymers with varying surface energies. The coated plates were attached, to a custom jig and mounted on top of an automobile for insect collection. Contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and specular reflectance infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface before and after the insect impact experiments. Scanning electron microscopy showed the topography of insect residues on the exposed plates. Moments were calculated in order to find a correlation between the parameters studied and the amount of bugs collected on the plates. An effect of surface energy on the sticking of insect residues was demonstrated.

The original design-space formulation was based on experimental upper-surface and lower-surface normal-force characteristics for flat, uncambered delta wings; it is shown that these general characteristics hold for various thickness distributions and for various amounts of leading-edge camber. The original design-space formulation was also based on the assumption that the combination of Mach number and leading-edge sweep which would produce an equal division of flat-wing lift between the upper and lower surface would
