Drag Near Zero Lift of a 1/7-Scale Model of the Convair B-58 External Store as Measured in Free Flight Between Mach Numbers of 0.8 and 2.45 (open access)

Drag Near Zero Lift of a 1/7-Scale Model of the Convair B-58 External Store as Measured in Free Flight Between Mach Numbers of 0.8 and 2.45

"The zero-lift drag of a 1/7-scale model of the Convair B-58 external store was obtained at mach numbers between 0.8 and 2.45 at corresponding Reynolds numbers per foot of 3.5 x 10 to the 6th power and 15.3 X 10 to the 6th power. The experimental drag data are compared with calculated values at both subsonic and supersonic speeds and show good agreement. In addition to the drag data, some static stability derivatives and damping factors were also obtained and are presented with the predicted values of these derivatives for completeness and for comparison" (p. 1).
