Low-Lift Buffet Characteristics Obtained From Flight Tests of Unswept Thin Intersecting Surfaces and of Thick 35 Degree Sweptback Surfaces

Report presenting testing of two rocket-propelled research models to determine the effect of the intersection of thin aerodynamic surfaces and the effect of moderate sweepback of thick aerodynamic surfaces on low-lift buffeting. Results regarding trim changes and drag are also provided. It was discovered that low-lift buffeting may be induced at high subsonic speeds by interference due to the intersection of thin aerodynamic surfaces.
