Effects of vertical location of wing and horizontal tail on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.40 of an airplane configuration with an unswept wing

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effects of vertical location of an unswept wing and horizontal tail on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of a wing-body-tail combination. The wings had an aspect ratio of 3.09, a taper ratio of 0.39, the quarter-chord line swept back 11.5 degrees, and biconvex sections.

Experimental lift of low-aspect-ratio triangular wings at large angles of attack and supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting testing of three wings of different aspect ratios at a range of angles of attack to provide information on the effects of large angles of attack on the lift and normal force on triangular wings in a specific Mach number range. Results regarding the comparisons with data from semispan tests, prediction of lift and normal force and comparison with the experiment, and maximum lift coefficient are provided.

Flight data pertinent to buffeting and maximum normal-force coefficient of the Douglas X-3 research airplane

Description: Report presenting the X-3 airplane, which has a straight 4.5-percent-thick wing of modified hexagonal section, which has been flown to maximum wing normal-force coefficients in the Mach number range from 0.7 to 1.1 at an average altitude of 30,000 feet. Measurements were made of airplane and wing-panel maximum normal-force coefficients and of some buffeting characteristics.

Transonic Wind-Tunnel Tests of the Launch, Jettison, and Longitudinal Characteristics of an Airplane and Missile Model Combination

Description: Report presenting tests of an airplane model equipped with missiles to investigate the capability of that combination to achieve satisfactory launching and jettisoning of the missiles. Information about pylon modifications, missiles in launch positions, missile trajectory, and missiles in jettison positions is provided.
