Aerodynamic performance

The extent of this should be inversely proportional to the manufact " ers experience and directly proportional to the financial consequence lost production. For example, blank gear sets will allow speed char Material for guide vanes and impellers will accommodate modificati to aerodynamic performance. Spare material will offset the risk of rna ial dofcct. 

About 14 types of nose fuzes (of which 4 types are VT fuze) are used in GP bombs, old series, in addn to 8 types in tail fuzes New Series GP Bombs are not listed in Ref 44, but two of such bombs 750-lb Ml 17 and 3000-lb Ml 2 8 are described in Ref 51a, pp 2-26. 2-27. They are designed for high blast effects and for improved aerodynamic performance accuracy in flight when released from most altitudes and airspeeds. Their bodies are cigarshaped with a conical fin-assembly bolted to the rear. This can be seen from Fig 2-5. The Fig 2-20 of Ref 51a showing their cutaway view is not reproduced here because its lines are too faint to understand the inside construction...

The effect of processing technique on the aerosol performance of insulin formulations prepared by DG antisolvent precipitation and spray drying has been investigated. Two types of insulin formulations were produced. They were 1 20 insulin-mannitol (IM) and 1 20 8 insulin-mannitol-citric acid (IMC). Mannitol is an excipient commonly used to improve aerodynamic performance of powders for inhalation delivery. Citric acid has been found effective in improving insulin absorption in the lungs. ... 

PADT is presently building an aerodynamic development rig that will be used to validate a model that was developed to predict aerodynamic performance of their fuel processor blower. 

All three designs are nearly completed and production of parts for the prototype units has begun. Two prototype units for all three designs will be complete by November 2002. Performance testing of the units will commence immediately thereafter to verify aerodynamic performance and efficiency of each design.
