Wind-Tunnel Tests of a 0.182-Scale Model of an F4U-1 Airplane with External Stores

Description: Tests were made in the Langley 7- by 10-foot tunnel on a 0.182-scale model of an F4U-1 airplane with external stores. This paper is concerned mainly with presenting the data obtained in this investigation and with a comparison of some of these data with flight-test results determining the feasibility of estimating flight buffet Mach number from tunnel data. The results of this investigation indicate that the incremental drag coefficient due to external stores may be used to estimate the maximum… more
