"The rocket-propelled-model technique has been applied to the investigation of low-lift buffeting. Results of preliminary tests show that severe buffeting, wing dropping, and normal-force changes occur almost simultaneously near zero lift over a Mach number range near 0.9 on unswept wings 12 percent thick. On unswept wings 7 percent thick, buffeting did not occur; however, mild wing dropping and normal-force changes were experienced" (p. 1).

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.
