Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Static Longitudinal Force and Moment Characteristics of Two Wing-Body Combinations With Clipped-Tip and Full Delta Wings of Aspect Ratio 1.73

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the transonic blowdown tunnel to obtain static longitudinal force and moment characteristics of two wings, one with an aspect ratio of 1.73 and 3-percent-thick delta wing and one with an aspect-ratio-1.73 4-percent-thick clipped delta wing mounted on a slender body. Results regarding lift characteristics, drag characteristics, and pitching-moment characteristics are provided.

Effect of Wing Height and Dihedral on the Lateral Stability Characteristics at Low Lift of a 45 Deg Swept-Wing Airplane Configuration as Obtained from Time-Vector Analyses of Rocket-Propelled-Model Flights at Mach Numbers from 0.7 to 1.3

Description: From Summary: "Lateral-stability flight tests were made over the Mach number range from 0.7 to 1.3 of models of three airplane configurations having 45 degree sweptback wings. One model had a high wing; one, a low wing; and one, a high wing with cathedral. The models were otherwise identical. The lateral oscillations of the models resulting from intermittent yawing disturbances were interpreted in terms of full-scale airplane flying qualities and were further analyzed by the time-vector method … more

Use of a diffuser Mach number as a supersonic-inlet control parameter

Description: A Mach number measured in the subsonic diffuser was used experimentally as the inlet control parameter of a bypass control system for an axisymmetric supersonic inlet operated in combination with a J34 turbo-jet engine at Mach numbers from 1.6 to 2.0. The control maintained the inlet in either critical or supercritical operation, and, when set for critical diffuser operation, the control recovered from disturbances that placed the inlet in both subcritical buzz and supercritical operation. A sl… more

A Semiempirical Procedure for Estimating Wing Buffet Loads in the Transonic Region

Description: Report presenting wing buffeting data obtained from a flight loads investigation of two jet-propelled swept-wing airplanes to study the effects of Mach number and reduced frequency on the wing buffet loads. Consistent trends were noted between the flight testing and wind-tunnel testing that the results of this particular test were compared with. Results regarding variation with penetration and dynamic pressure, variation with Mach number and reduced frequency, and estimation of wing buffet load… more
