Turbojets and Supersonic Research: The laboratory reorganized itself immediately after the end of the war to devote almost all of its resources to improving the emerging jet engine technology. The NACA also added new, more powerful test facilities to address the turbojet and high-speed flight. The laboratory, renamed the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory, also began a wide-ranging study of ramjet engines for missile applications. The icing research program had begun during the war but did not really come to fruition until the mid-1940s. Researchers used the Icing Research Tunnel to study different ice-prevention devices and specially equipped bomber aircraft to study the formation of ice in clouds. The lab’s fuels researchers turned their attention to high-energy propellants that could be used with another new technology, rocket engines.
