Wind-tunnel investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of wing-fuselage combinations at high subsonic speeds: Aspect-ratio series

Report presenting an investigation in the 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the effect of aspect ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of wing-fuselage combinations with 45 degrees sweepback at the quarter-chord line and 0.6 taper ratio at high subsonic speeds. Results regarding the lift characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, drag characteristics, and lift-drag ratios are provided.

Pressure Distributions at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.9 Measured in Free Flight on a Parabolic Body of Revolution With Sharply Convergent Afterbody (open access)

Pressure Distributions at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.9 Measured in Free Flight on a Parabolic Body of Revolution With Sharply Convergent Afterbody

Report reporting measurements of pressure distributions obtained in a flight test of a fin-stabilized parabolic body of revolution with a sharply convergent afterbody. Pressures were measured at eight longitudinal stations on the body and over a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding basic data, the effect of sting, the variation of pressure coefficient with Mach number, pressure distributions, velocity distribution and discussion of flow phenomena, and drag are presented.
