The Effects of Increasing the Leading-Edge Radius and Adding Forward Camber on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Wing With 35 Degrees of Sweepback

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of a section modification on the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with 35 degrees of sweepback. The wing was modified by increasing the leading-edge radius of the NACA 64A010 section and adding a small amount of camber to the forward portion of the chord. Lift, drag, pitching-moment, and trailing-edge-flap hinge-moment characteristics of the modified wing are compared with results from the original wing.
