Drag interference between a pointed cylindrical body and triangular wings of various aspect ratios at Mach numbers of 1.50 and 2.02
The drag of a body alone, six triangular wings of various aspect ratios, and the combinations were measured at Mach numbers of 1.50 and 2.02 at a Reynolds number of 5.5 million (based on the body length). The experimental drag-interference results were in accordance with calculations based on NACA RM A9E19, 1949, with skin-friction effects taken into account, the interference effect being principally the result of fixing transition on the body by adding a wing.

Comparison of Zero-Lift Drags Determined by Flight Tests at Transonic Speeds of Symmetrically Mounted Nacelles in Various Spanwise Positions on a 45 Degrees Sweptback Wing and Body Combination
Report presenting testing of rocket-powered models flown at transonic speeds to determine the effect of nacelle location on zero-lift drag. Low drag was obtained between M = 0.80 and M = 0.91 for all the nacelle positions investigated. Nacelles located at the wing tips gave the lowest drag, which was less than the drag of the combination without the nacelles over most of the speed range.

Review of some recent data on buffet boundaries
Report presenting a study of a large amount of data pertaining to high-speed buffet boundaries of various airplane configurations. The data indicate a strong influence of wing configuration on buffet boundaries. Results regarding low-lift buffeting, high-lift buffeting, buffet boundaries, and buffet intensity are provided.
