Some Recent Experimental Data on Three-Dimensional Oscillating Air Forces

Description: Report presenting the status of oscillating air forces, including forces, moments, and their respective phase angles for a 45 degree swept wing of aspect ratio 2 and for two bodies of revolution. Derivatives based on available analyses were also demonstrated for those three configurations.

Experimental Measurements of Forces and Moments on a Two-Dimensional Oscillating Wing at Subsonic Speeds

Description: "Experimental results of lifts and moments about the quarter chord of a two-dimensional wing at subsonic Mach numbers are presented. A comparison of the experimental magnitude of the lift vector with the theory as given by Dietze showed good agreement. Comparisons of the moments and the quadrature component of lift with theory indicated that some refinements in the testing technique are necessary for the experimental determination of these quantities in the transonic range" (p. 1).

Aerodynamics of Oscillating Control Surfaces at Transonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting a discussion of oscillating flap-type and all-movable controls with particular emphasis on the aerodynamic forces and moments at transonic speeds. Hinge-moment results from recent wind-tunnel and rocket-powered-model tests are summarized for trailing-edge flap-type controls to illustrate the effects of control hinge-line position and profile shape on one-degree-of-freedom flutter of this type of control.

Experimental Investigation of the Oscillating Forces and Moments on a Two-Dimensional Wing Equipped With an Oscillating Circular-Arc Spoiler

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the flutter research tunnel to determine the oscillating forces and moments on a two-dimensional wing equipped with an oscillating circular-arc spoiler. The study indicated that force and moment coefficients and their phase angles are affected by Reynolds number, Mach number, and reduced frequency.

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamic Forces and Moments on Low-Aspect-Ratio Wings Undergoing Flapping Oscillations

Description: "Aerodynamic forces and moments associated with flapping oscillations of finite wings at low speeds are considered. A comparison of theoretical and experimental results is made for a rectangular wing of aspect ratio 2. Calculated results are also given for three tapered wings of aspect ratio 3 with varying amounts of sweepback" (p. 1).
