Large-scale flight measurements of zero-lift drag at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.6 of a wing-body combination having an unswept 4.5 percent thick wing with modified hexagonal sections (open access)

Large-scale flight measurements of zero-lift drag at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.6 of a wing-body combination having an unswept 4.5 percent thick wing with modified hexagonal sections

Report presenting an investigation of zero-lift drag of a fin-stabilized wing-body combination from high-subsonic to supersonic speeds in a range of Reynolds numbers. The wing was unswept about the 74.5-percent-chord line, an aspect ratio of 3.04, a taper ratio of 0.394, and 4.5-percent-thick modified hexagonal airfoil sections. Results regarding total drag, wing-plus-interference drag, and base pressure are provided.
