Large-scale flight measurements of zero-lift drag at Mach numbers form 0.86 to 1.5 of a wing-body combination having a 60 degree triangular wing with NACA 65A003 sections (open access)

Large-scale flight measurements of zero-lift drag at Mach numbers form 0.86 to 1.5 of a wing-body combination having a 60 degree triangular wing with NACA 65A003 sections

Report presenting flight testing at high-subsonic and supersonic speeds at high Reynolds numbers to determine the zero-lift drag of a fin-stabilized body and a wing-body combination. The body was parabolic in profile, had a fineness ratio of 10, and a ratio of body frontal area to wing area to 0.306.

Low-Speed Investigation of Deflectable Wing-Tip Elevators on a Low-Aspect-Ratio Untapered 45 Degree Sweptback Semispan Wing With and Without an End Plate (open access)

Low-Speed Investigation of Deflectable Wing-Tip Elevators on a Low-Aspect-Ratio Untapered 45 Degree Sweptback Semispan Wing With and Without an End Plate

Report presenting an investigation to determine the longitudinal control characteristics of deflectable wing-tip elevators on a low-aspect-ratio, untapered, 45 degree sweptback semispan wing. The elevators had triangular and parallelogrammic plan forms and flat-plate profiles. Results include the elevator effectiveness and comparison of the elevator effectiveness of deflectable wing-tip controls and trailing-edge flap-type controls.
