Report presenting an investigation of pressure distributions and flow characteristics at low speed through a range of yaw and angle of attack through the stall for three small-scale low-aspect-ratio pointed wings with varying degrees of trailing-edge sweep. An effort was made to correlate pressure distributions with the strong conical vortex flow observed. Results regarding chordwise pressure distributions and flow characteristics, section lift characteristics at zero yaw, spanwise-load distributions, centers of pressure at zero yaw, and wing force and moment characteristics are provided.

"An investigation was conducted to determine the performance characteristics of the axial-flow supersonic compressor of the XJ55-FF-1 turbojet engine. An analysis of the performance of the rotor was made based on detailed flow measurements behind the rotor. The compressor apparently did not obtain the design normal-shock configuration in this investigation. A large redistribution of mass occurred toward the root of the rotor over the entire speed range; this condition was so acute at design speed that the tip sections were completely inoperative" (p. 1).

From Summary: "An investigation was conducted in the Langley 19-foot pressure tunnel to determine the lift, drag, pitching-moment and stalling characteristics of a 1/4 -scale partial-span model of the left wing of the Republic XF-12 airplane. The effects of a duct inlet, located between the nacelles at the leading edge of the wing, on those characteristics were also investigated. The Reynolds numbers for the investigation covered a range from 4,500,000 to 8,600,000. The results of the investigation indicated that maximum lift coefficients of 1.36, 1.71, and 2.11 were measured on the model with flaps neutral and deflected 20 deg and 55 deg, respectively at a Reynolds number of 8,600,000."
