An Analysis of Pressure Studies and Experimental and Theoretical Downwash and Sidewash Behind Five Pointed-Tip Wings at Supersonic Speeds

The following report covers an investigation that was done to supplement available experimental data on flow fields behind wings of an aircraft at supersonic speeds, as well as to furnish more quantitative information on the choice of the theoretical method for a given configuration and the accuracy to be expected when using such a method.

Aerodynamics of slender wings and wing-body combinations having swept trailing edges (open access)

Aerodynamics of slender wings and wing-body combinations having swept trailing edges

From Introduction: "In the present paper, a general method is developed for solving low-aspect-ratio problems involving shed vortex sheets. Both direct and inverse problems are considered. The method is applicable for all planar problems where the velocity boundary conditions can be made homogeneous by differentiation in either the streamwise or the spanwise directions."

An analytical investigation of airplane spin-recovery motion by use of rotary-balance aerodynamic data (open access)

An analytical investigation of airplane spin-recovery motion by use of rotary-balance aerodynamic data

From Introduction: "Many investigations have been made in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel in which the natures of airplane spins and recoveries have been determined experimentally with dynamically scaled-down models. The results of some of these investigations are presented in references 1 to 5."
