DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Pressure data have been obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 1.115 and angles of attack from 0 to 20 degrees for wing-body configurations employing a thin trapezoidal wing in combination with basic and indented bodies. The wing had 26.6 degrees sweepback of the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 2.61, a taper ratio of 0.211, and 2-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry. Results are also presented for the basic body alone. Reynolds numbers for the tests were on the order of 2,600,000, based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The results presented in the present paper represent a continuation of a research program conducted in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch, sideslip, and steady roll of model configurations having variations in the wing geometric parameters. Presented herein are the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of wing-fuselage combinations with wings having an aspect ratio of 4, a sweepback angle of 45 degrees, end taper ratios of 0.3, 0.6,and 1.0. The Mach number range was from 0.40 to about 0.95 and the Reynolds number range was from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000.
