Gust-tunnel investigation of a wing model with semichord line swept back 30 degrees
Description:
Report presenting tests in the gust tunnel of the 30 degree sweptback wing model to provide information on some of the problems encountered in the prediction of gust loads for airplanes incorporating swept wings. The results indicate that within the scope of the data and the values of gradient distance investigated, the maximum acceleration increment depends on the slope of the lift curve of an equivalent straight wing multiplied by the cosine of the angle of sweep and on the effect of gradual …
