The Forces and Pressure Distribution at Subsonic Speeds on a Cambered and Twisted Wing Having 45 Degrees of Sweepback and Aspect Ratio of 3 and a Taper Ratio of 0.5 (open access)

The Forces and Pressure Distribution at Subsonic Speeds on a Cambered and Twisted Wing Having 45 Degrees of Sweepback and Aspect Ratio of 3 and a Taper Ratio of 0.5

Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted to determine the effects of scale and compressibility on the forces, moments, and pressure distribution on a cambered and twisted wing with an aspect ratio of 3.0 and a taper ratio of 0.5. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment data and the chordwise distribution of static pressure at seven spanwise stations are presented for specified Mach and Reynolds numbers. In order to determine the effects of camber and twist, the force, moment, and pressure data are compared with the data for an uncambered and untwisted wing of the same plan form.

Summary of Low-Lift Drag and Directional Stability Data from Rocket Models of the Douglas XF4D-1 Airplane with and without External Stores and Rocket Packets at Mach Numbers from 0.8 to 1.38: TED No. NACA DE-349 (open access)

Summary of Low-Lift Drag and Directional Stability Data from Rocket Models of the Douglas XF4D-1 Airplane with and without External Stores and Rocket Packets at Mach Numbers from 0.8 to 1.38: TED No. NACA DE-349

At the request of the Bureau of Aeronautics, Department of the Navy, an investigation at transonic and low supersonic speeds of the drag and longitudinal trim characteristics of the Douglas XF4D-1 airplane is being conducted by the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Division. The Douglas XF4D-1 is a jet-propelled, low-aspect-ratio, swept-wing, tailless, interceptor-type airplane designed to fly at low supersonic speeds. As a part of this investigation, flight tests were made using rocket- propelled 1/10- scale models to determine the effect of the addition of 10 external stores and rocket packets on the drag at low lift coefficients. In addition to these data, some qualitative values of the directional stability parameter C(sub n beta) and duct total-pressure recovery are also presented.

Transonic aerodynamic characteristics of three thin triangular wings and a trapezoidal wing, all of low aspect ratio (open access)

Transonic aerodynamic characteristics of three thin triangular wings and a trapezoidal wing, all of low aspect ratio

Report presenting an investigation in the high-speed wind tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of three triangular wings and a trapezoidal wing through the transonic speed range by use of the bump technique. Data was obtained over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Results regarding the lift, drag, pitching moment, and lift-drag ratio of the various wings are provided.
