Aerodynamic Characteristics of Low-aspect-ratio Wings at High Supersonic Mach Numbers

Description: Memorandum presenting some recently obtained data on the aerodynamic characteristics of low-aspect-ratio wings at supersonic Mach number of 4.04 and 6.9 and discusses some new methods of predicting the lift and drag of such wings. The plan forms, airfoil sections, and thickness ratios of the wings tested are provided.

Low-speed static stability and control characteristics of a 1/4-scale model of the Bell X-1 airplane equipped with a 4-percent-thick, aspect-ratio-4, unswept wing

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the Langley 300 mph tunnel to determine the low-speed static stability and control characteristics of a model of the Bell X-1 airplane equipped with a 4-percent-thick, aspect-ratio-4 wing. Tests were also made to determine optimum flap deflection for a slotted flap. Results regarding longitudinal stability and control, high lift devices, lateral and directional stability, and lateral and directional control are provided.

Aerodynamic characteristics of low-aspect-ratio wings at high supersonic Mach numbers

Description: From Introduction: "This paper presents some recently obtained data on the aerodynamic characteristics of low-aspect-ratio wings at supersonic Mach numbers of 4.04 and 6.9 and discusses some new methods of predicting the lift and drag of such wings. Data on lifting wings in the Mach number range above 2.5 are not plentiful and most of the available data may be found in NACA RM L51D17, NACA RM L51D30, NACA RM L52D15a, NACA RM L52K19, NACA RM L53D03, and NACA RM L53D30a."
