Force and Pressure Measurements on Several Canopy-Fuselage Configurations at Transonic Mach Numbers 1.41 and 2.01 (open access)

Force and Pressure Measurements on Several Canopy-Fuselage Configurations at Transonic Mach Numbers 1.41 and 2.01

Report presenting an investigation on canopy pressures and canopy-fuselage forces and moments under conditions of combined pitch and sideslip. The canopy configurations tested varied in windshield shape (flat, vee, and round) and were tested at two Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers.

The effect of inlet installation on the zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body configuration from flight tests at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.86 (open access)

The effect of inlet installation on the zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body configuration from flight tests at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.86

Report presenting zero-lift drag results for two 60 degree delta-wing configurations with air inlets. One had twin conical-shock semi-circular scoops just ahead of the wing-body juncture and one had a modified wing section over the inboard portion to allow installation of modified triangular inlets in the wing leading edge. Results regarding the drag coefficients and mass-flow ratios are provided.

Lift, drag, and longitudinal stability at Mach numbers from 1.4 to 2.3 of a rocket-powered model having a 52.5 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 and inline tail surfaces (open access)

Lift, drag, and longitudinal stability at Mach numbers from 1.4 to 2.3 of a rocket-powered model having a 52.5 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 and inline tail surfaces

Report presenting an investigation of a configuration with a body of fineness ratio 16.9, a 52.5 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3, taper ratio 0.2, and NACA 65A004 airfoil section, and an incline tail which was aeropulsed continuously in pitching during free flight with and without a sustainer rocket motor operating. The Mach number range covered was from 1.4 to 2.3. Results regarding drag, total normal force and pitching moment, wing normal-force-curve slope, flow conditions at the horizontal tail, and cross coupling are provided.

Flight Investigation of the Effect of Underwing Propulsive Jets on the Lift, Drag, and Longitudinal Stability of a Delta-Wing Configuration at Mach Numbers From 1.23 to 1.62 (open access)

Flight Investigation of the Effect of Underwing Propulsive Jets on the Lift, Drag, and Longitudinal Stability of a Delta-Wing Configuration at Mach Numbers From 1.23 to 1.62

Report discussing testing of a multijet 60 degree delta-wing airplane configuration with twin-engine exhausts at specified locations under the wing. Data was obtained for jet-on and jet-off conditions between a range of Mach numbers. Results are presented for the effect of jet on drag, jet effect on lift, static longitudinal stability, and dynamic longitudinal stability.

The Origin and Distribution of Supersonic Store Interference From Measurement of Individual Forces on Several Wing-Fuselage-Store Configurations 4. - Delta-Wing Heavy-Bomber Configuration With Large Store. Mach Number, 1.61 (open access)

The Origin and Distribution of Supersonic Store Interference From Measurement of Individual Forces on Several Wing-Fuselage-Store Configurations 4. - Delta-Wing Heavy-Bomber Configuration With Large Store. Mach Number, 1.61

Memorandum presenting a supersonic wind-tunnel investigation of the origin and distribution of store interference performed in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at a Mach number of 1.6 in which separate forces on a store and on a 60 degree delta-wing-fuselage combination were measured. The configuration in this report simulates a heavy-bomber delta-wing airplane and has a large external symmetrical store that represents a nacelle with a frontal area equivalent to a twin-engine nacelle.

Force and Pressure Measurements on Several Canopy-Fuselage Configurations at Mach Numbers 1.41 and 2.01

Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted in the supersonic pressure tunnel on canopy pressures and canopy-fuselage forces and moments under conditions of combined pitch and sideslip. The canopy configurations tested varied in windshield shape, location on the fuselage, and fineness ratio. Results regarding force and moment data, pressure data, and force and pressure correlation are provided.
