Wind-Tunnel Investigation of a 0.6-Scale Model of Hughes MX-904 Tail Surface at Supersonic Speeds: Tail Attached to a Segment of the Foreshortened Body (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of a 0.6-Scale Model of Hughes MX-904 Tail Surface at Supersonic Speeds: Tail Attached to a Segment of the Foreshortened Body

"An investigation has been made of a partial-span model of the tail surface designed for use on the Hughes Falcon (MX-904) missile to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the tail and elevator including elevator hinge moment. Data obtained at Mach numbers of 1.62 and 1.96 in the Langley 9- by 12-inch supersonic blowdown tunnel are presented for the condition where the tail was attached to a segment of the foreshortened body" (p. 1).

Wing-dropping characteristics of some straight and swept wings at transonic speeds as determined with rocket-powered models (open access)

Wing-dropping characteristics of some straight and swept wings at transonic speeds as determined with rocket-powered models

Report presenting data gathered on a lateral-trim change or wing dropping that involves a rapid change of lateral trim with Mach number, which has occurred on several rocket-powered models used in roll investigations at transonic speeds. The data in this report demonstrates that straight wings with airfoil sections 9 percent thick or greater are susceptible to wing dropping between Mach numbers of 0.9 and 1.0. Results for straight, sweptback, and delta wings are provided.
