Investigation at High Subsonic Speeds of Methods of Alleviating the Adverse Interference at the Root of a Swept-Back Wing

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the interference at the root of a sweptback wing at high subsonic Mach numbers by means of wind-tunnel measurements of a wing-body combination with the 50-percent-chord line of the wing either unswept or swept back 35 degrees. Results regarding body characteristics, pressure studies, tuft studies, and force studies are provided.

Pressure Measurements on a Sharply Converging Fuselage Afterbody With Jet on and Off at Mach Numbers From 0.8 to 1.6

Description: Report presenting testing of a rocket-powered model of a fin-stabilized parabolic body of revolution with fineness ratio 8.91 and maximum diameter at 80 percent of body station at a range of Mach numbers to determine the static pressures at two orifices on the rearward side of the stabilizing fins. Results regarding measured pressures, comparison of theory and experiment, and drag are provided.
