Experimental downwash and wake characteristics at subsonic and supersonic Mach numbers behind an unswept, tapered wing, of aspect ratio 2.67 with leading-and trailing-edge flaps (open access)

Experimental downwash and wake characteristics at subsonic and supersonic Mach numbers behind an unswept, tapered wing, of aspect ratio 2.67 with leading-and trailing-edge flaps

Report presenting the effect of Mach number on the characteristics of the downwash and wake behind an unswept, tapered wing of aspect ratio 2.67 with full-span, 25-percent-chord, leading- and trailing-edge flaps has been determined from wind-tunnel tests. Results regarding downwash characteristics and wake characteristics are provided.

An investigation of a supersonic aircraft configuration having a tapered wing with circular-arc section and 40 degree sweepback: a pressure-distribution study of the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing at Mach number 1.40 (open access)

An investigation of a supersonic aircraft configuration having a tapered wing with circular-arc section and 40 degree sweepback: a pressure-distribution study of the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing at Mach number 1.40

Report discussing a pressure-distribution investigation of a wing of a supersonic aircraft in the presence of a fuselage at a specified Mach number and aerodynamic chord. The wing had a quarter chord swept back 40 degrees, an aspect ratio of 4, a taper ratio of 0.5, and 10-percent-thick circular-arc sections perpendicular to the quarter-chord line. The results were compared to a similar investigation at a different Mach number.
