Drag Measurements at Low Lift of a Four-Nacelle Airplane Configuration Having a Longitudinal Distribution of Cross-Sectional Area Conductive to Low Transonic Drag Rise
Description:
Memorandum presenting a procedure based on the transonic area rule, which has been used to design a four-nacelle delta-wing airplane configuration. A flight test of a model of the configuration showed a zero-lift transonic drag rise of 0.010 which, when compared with estimates, indicated the absence of adverse interference effects.
