Effect of Mach and Reynolds Numbers on the Maximum Lift Coefficient Obtainable in Gradual and Abrupt Stalls of a Pursuit Airplane Equipped With a Low-Drag Wing (open access)

Effect of Mach and Reynolds Numbers on the Maximum Lift Coefficient Obtainable in Gradual and Abrupt Stalls of a Pursuit Airplane Equipped With a Low-Drag Wing

Report discussing flight tests on a low-drag wing pursuit airplane to determine the effects of Mach and Reynolds numbers on the maximum lift coefficient obtainable in gradual and abrupt stalls. The obtainable maximum lift coefficient was found to be greatly affected by the Mach and Reynolds numbers in gradual stall. In abrupt stalls, the maximum lift coefficient was affected by the Mach number, but not the Reynolds number.
