The Effect of Sweepback on the Longitudinal Characteristics at a Mach Number of 1.24 of a 1/30 Scale Semispan Model of the Bell X-5 Airplane From Tests by the NACA Wing Flow Method

Report discussing testing to determine the effect of sweepback on the longitudinal characteristics of a model of the Bell X-5 airplane at Mach number 1.24. Lift, drag, and pitching moments were obtained for several angles of attack. Effects on the drag coefficient and lift-curve slope are described.
