F-5A Transonic Buffet Flight Test
Description:
Report describing flight tests conducted on a Northrop-produced F-5 fighter aircraft to define buffet both quantitatively and qualitatively. Stability, control, loads, and wing pressure data were recorded during constant Mach number, accelerated turn maneuvers. Wing flow visualization data were obtained using tufts photographed with an on-board motion picture camera. The lift coefficient for pilot indicated buffet onset was correlated with aircraft acceleration oscillations, and a resultant cr…
