Full-scale wind-tunnel investigation of the effects of wing modifications and horizontal-tail location on the low-speed static longitudinal characteristics of a 35 degree swept-wing airplane

Report presenting tests made in the 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel to evaluate the effects of wing modifications on the static longitudinal characteristics of a 35 degree swept-wing airplane. The wing modifications were designed to replace existing wing slats as low-speed high-lift devices. Results regarding the two-dimensional tests, full-scale tests, design of wing modification 1, test results of the airplane, and a comparison of test results with predictions are provided.
