The aerodynamic characteristics at transonic speeds of a model with a 45 degree sweptback wing, including the effect of leading edge slats and a low horizontal tail
Description:
Report presenting an investigation in the 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine the effects of leading-edge slats on the aerodynamic and longitudinal stability characteristics of a model of a swept-wing fighter-type airplane. Two different spanwise extents of leading-edge slats were tested, from 35 to 95 percent semispan and from 46 to 95 percent semispan. Results regarding the lift characteristics, drag characteristics and lift-drag ratios, stability characteristics, and flow-study pictures ar…
