An Investigation of the Maximum Lift of Wings at Supersonic Speeds
Description:
This report presents the results of an exploratory investigation carried out in the Langley 9-inch supersonic tunnel to determine the maximum lift of wings operating at supersonic speeds. A variety of wing plan forms of random thickness distributions were tested at Mach numbers of 1.55, 1.90, and 2.32 and at Reynolds numbers varying between 0.74 x 10(6) and 0.27 x 10(6) at angles of attack ranging from zero up through the angle at which maximum lift occurred. Subsequent pressure-distribution te…
