Tests of Lifting Surfaces on Conical and Cylindrical Portions of a Body at Subsonic Mach Numbers and at a Mach Number of 1.2 (open access)

Tests of Lifting Surfaces on Conical and Cylindrical Portions of a Body at Subsonic Mach Numbers and at a Mach Number of 1.2

Report presenting testing of low-aspect-ratio triangular-plan-form lifting surfaces located on conical and cylindrical portions of a body have been determined at Mach number 1.2 and several subsonic speeds to determine if the aerodynamic characteristics of these surfaces at supersonic speeds could be improved by locating them in the subsonic conical-flow field. Results regarding lift and drag coefficients and lift-curve slopes are provided.
