A flight investigation of the effect of leading-edge camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a swept-wing airplane (open access)

A flight investigation of the effect of leading-edge camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a swept-wing airplane

Report presenting flight measurements on a swept-wing jet aircraft to determine the effects of adding forward camber and an increased leading-edge radius on the low-speed stalling characteristics, the high-speed static longitudinal stability, and the airplane drag. The modified leading edge produced values of maximum lift somewhat greater than the slats on a normal airplane, but the stall was unacceptable because of an abrupt roll-off.

Effect of vertical position of the wing on the aerodynamic characteristics of three wing-body combinations (open access)

Effect of vertical position of the wing on the aerodynamic characteristics of three wing-body combinations

Report presenting the results of an experimental investigation of three plane wings in combination with a body, which represented both low- and high-wing arrangements. The three wings had different plan forms: a tapered unswept plan form, a tapered 45 degree sweptback plan form, and a triangular plan form. Results regarding the effect of Reynolds number and effect of vertical position of the wing are provided.
