Maximum-Lift Investigation of a 1/40-Scale X-1 Airplane Wing at Mach Numbers From 0.60 to 1.15

Description: Report presenting an investigation at transonic speeds to determine the maximum lift characteristics of a wing model of the X-1 airplane. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment data for a lift range and range of Mach numbers was collected. Maximum lift was found to be obtained at progressively higher angles of attack as the Mach number was increased.

Wind-tunnel tests of a 0.16-scale model of the X-3 airplane at high subsonic speeds: stability and control characteristics

Description: Report presenting static lateral- and longitudinal-stability tests of a scale model of a projected, low-aspect-ratio, supersonic airplane at low and high subsonic Mach numbers. The wing was equipped with leading-edge flaps and had a modified double-wedge airfoil with sharp leading and trailing edges. Results regarding lift characteristics, static longitudinal stability and control, lateral and directional stability, drag characteristics, and wing and fuselage tuft studies are provided.
