Free-Fall Measurements at Transonic Velocities of the Drag of a Wing-Body Configuration Consisting of a 45 Degree Swept-Back Wing Mounted Forward of the Maximum Diameter on a Body of Fineness Ratio 12
Description:
Report presenting the drag of a series of complete airplane-like configurations and their components at transonic velocities using the free-fall method. The configuration tested in this report has a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 4.1 mounted forward of the maximum diameter of a 10-inch-diameter body of fineness ratio 12 equipped with stabilizing tail fins. Results are presented as curves showing the variation of drag coefficient with Mach number for the complete configuration and for …
