Wing-load measurements of the Bell X-5 research airplane at a sweep angle of 58.7 degrees
Description:
Report presenting a flight investigation over a range of altitudes and lift to determine the wing loads of the Bell X-5 research airplane at a sweep angle of 58.7 degrees at subsonic and transonic Mach numbers. Testing indicated that wing loads exhibit nonlinear trends over the angle-of-attack range from zero to maximum wing lift.
