Aerodynamic Characteristics in Pitch and Sideslip at High Subsonic Speeds of a 1/14-Scale Model of the Grumman XF104 Airplane with Wing Sweepback of 42.5 Degrees (open access)

Aerodynamic Characteristics in Pitch and Sideslip at High Subsonic Speeds of a 1/14-Scale Model of the Grumman XF104 Airplane with Wing Sweepback of 42.5 Degrees

"An investigation has been made at high subsonic speeds of the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip of a 1/l4-scale model of the Grumman XF10F airplane with a wing sweepback angle of 42.5. The longitudinal stability characteristics (with the horizontal tail fixed) indicate a pitch-up near the stall; however, this was somewhat alleviated by the addition of fins to the side of the fuselage below the horizontal tail. The original model configuration became directionally unstable for small sideslip angles at Mach numbers above 0.8; however, the instability was eliminated by several different modifications" (p. 1).

Flow and Force Characteristics of 2-Percent-Thick Airfoils at Transonic Speeds (open access)

Flow and Force Characteristics of 2-Percent-Thick Airfoils at Transonic Speeds

"A two-dimensional investigation utilizing pressure-distribution measurements and schileren photographs has been made of the flow and force characteristics of slab-sided airfoils of 2-percent thickness at transonic Mach numbers. The airfoils had various combinations of elliptically shaped leading and trailing edges from a fineness ratio of 0 to 10. The aerodynamic characteristics and an analysis of the flow past the models are presented" (p. 1).
