Free-Flight Investigation of Control Effectiveness of Full-Span 0.2-Chord Plain Ailerons at High Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds to Determine Some Effects of Section Thickness and Wing Sweepback

Report discusses the development and testing of a rocket-propelled test vehicle to investigate aerodynamic control effectiveness at high subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speeds. Modifications to the section thickness and wing sweepback to improve performance are also described. A description of the vehicle, instrumentation, accuracy, and evaluation of testing results is included.
