Wind-Tunnel Investigation at Low Speeds of Various Plug-Aileron and Lift-Flap Configurations on a 42 Degree Sweptback Semispan Wing

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation on a 42 degree sweptback-wing model to determine the lateral control characteristics of a plug-aileron configuration. The configuration consisted of six segments extending from the wing 20-percent-span to the wing 80-percent-span stations and with the center of each plug on the wing 70-percent-chord line. Results regarding wing aerodynamic characteristics and lateral control characteristics are provided.

Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees: Characteristics at a Mach number of 1.53 including effect of small variations of sweep

Description: Measured values of lift, drag, and pitching moment at a Mach number of 1.53 and Reynolds numbers of 0.31, 0.62, and 0.84 million are presented for a wing-fuselage combination having a wing leading-edge sweep angle of 63 degrees, an aspect ratio of 3.42, a taper ratio of 0.25, and an NACA 64A006 section in the stream direction. Data are also presented for sweep angles of 57.0 degrees, 60.4 degrees, 67.0 degrees, and 69.9 degrees. The experimentally determined characteristics were less favorable … more
