Investigation at low speed of the downwash, sidewash, and wake characteristics behind a large-scale triangular wing, including the effects of yaw, full-span trailing-edge flaps, and two leading-edge modifications (open access)

Investigation at low speed of the downwash, sidewash, and wake characteristics behind a large-scale triangular wing, including the effects of yaw, full-span trailing-edge flaps, and two leading-edge modifications

Report presenting an investigation at low speed in the Langley full-scale tunnel of the downwash, sidewash, and wake behind a large-scale 60 degree triangular wing with 10-percent-thick biconvex airfoil sections. Results regarding the air-stream surveys for three different configurations and stability and trim are provided.

The Effects of Camber and Leading-Edge-Flap Deflection on the Pressure Pulsations on Thin Rigid Airfoils at Transonic Speeds (open access)

The Effects of Camber and Leading-Edge-Flap Deflection on the Pressure Pulsations on Thin Rigid Airfoils at Transonic Speeds

Report discussing an investigation into the effects of camber and leading-edge-flap deflection on the pressure pulsations on thin rigid airfoils at a range of Mach numbers. The ideal camber or flap deflection was found to be dependent on Mach number and normal-force coefficient. The results of this testing, which used a 64A006 airfoil, was compared to previous testing using a 65A006 airfoil.

Effects of the spanwise, chordwise and vertical location of an external store on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 60 degree delta wing at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.62, and 1.96 (open access)

Effects of the spanwise, chordwise and vertical location of an external store on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 60 degree delta wing at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.62, and 1.96

Report presenting an investigation in the supersonic blowdown tunnel to determine the effects of external store location on the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics of a 60 degree delta wing at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.62, and 1.96. Brief comparative tests were also made to determine the effect of changing the sweep of the strut attaching the store to the wing and of changing the chordwise location of the swept strut.
