Report presenting an investigation of the aerodynamic loading characteristics of a wing-fuselage combination in the slotted test section of the transonic tunnel. The test was part of a systematic investigation of the effects of varying the amount of sweepback on wings in order to determine their suitability for transonic flight. Results regarding span load characteristics, normal-force characteristics, wing-tip angle of twist, spanwise distribution of section pitching-moment coefficient, pitching-moment characteristics, and fuselage characteristics in presence of wing are provided.

Memorandum presenting results obtained from time-history records of normal accelerations, airspeed, and altitude. Additional data have been obtained from the operations of two types of commercial transport airplanes together with data on two other types of transport airplanes.

Report presenting the application of an aerodynamically pulsed horizontal tail to determine experimentally the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a rocket-powered model in free flight. Results regarding time history, lift and drag, and tail effectiveness and downwash are provided.
