Drag Measurements in Flight on the 10-Percent-Thick and 8-Percent-Thick Wing X-1 Airplanes

Report presenting drag measurements made on a 10-percent-thick wing and 8-percent-thick tail and a 8-percent-thick wing, 6-percent-thick tail version of the X-1 airplane at a variety of Mach numbers. The drag of the thicker wing was found to be much higher than that of the thinner wing. The fuselage was found to cause interference with the wing of both models, making the separation of wing and fuselage drag difficult to determine.

Pressure Distributions Over a Wing-Fuselage Model at Mach Numbers of 0.4 to 0.99 and at 1.2 (open access)

Pressure Distributions Over a Wing-Fuselage Model at Mach Numbers of 0.4 to 0.99 and at 1.2

Report presenting pressure distributions over a prolate spheroid of fineness ratio 6 and over a combination of this body with an NACA 65-010 wing section for a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding wall and sting interference, nature of flow over a model in the transonic region, development of supersonic flow from subsonic flow, and a comparison of experimental and theoretical flow at subsonic stream Mach numbers are provided.
