    Straightening Formed Aluminum Parts

    You should be directing your questions to the aircraft manufacturer - the holder of the airworthiness certificate - either by reference to the aircraft's approved structural repair manual or directly. As wktylor has warned, the FAA does not consider structural repair issues trivial.

    Looking for Empirical Airfoil Stall Criteria

    Abbott and von Doenhoff's Theory of Wing Sections (the book to which moon161 refers) provides most of the information you seek for about 120 NACA wing sections, though only a few have their characteristics plotted against Mach number. If you know the maximum incompressible co-efficient of...

    What supersonic aerodynamics phenomenon is seen here?

    Dynamic pressure is dependent on velocity or Mach number, not on acceleration. According to the NASA press kit of the time, first stage burnout occurred at an altitude of 38 miles (about 200,000ft). According to http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/standard-atmosphere-d_604.html the standard...

    incredible weight in flying wing UAVs

    The Inspector 301 has a near-delta planform and a lifting body fuselage. I estimate that its wing area is about 0.9m^2, giving a wing loading of about 76 Pa or 1.6 lb/ft^2. http://eng.aerocon.ru/inspector/inspector301/ The Desert Hawk has a near-rectangular planform, with an area of 0.325m^2...
