High-Speed Wind-Tunnel Tests of a 1/6-Scale Model of a Twin-Engine Pursuit Airplane
Description:
Report presenting testing of a scale model of a twin-engine pursuit airplane in order to investigate the possibility of high-speed diving difficulties and to find remedies for them. Most of the data were obtained in force tests, although some pressure-distribution measurements, elevator hinge moments, and wake surveys were also made. The tests showed that the airplane will experience serious diving moments above lift coefficients of 0.5 at a Mach number of 0.65, and 0.1 at a Mach number of 0.72…
