Effects of Taper Ratio on the Longitudinal Characteristics at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.4 of a Wing-Body-Tail Combination Having an Unswept Wing of Aspect Ratio 3

Description: Report presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of a variation in wing taper ratio on the longitudinal characteristics of a wing-body combination at a variety of Mach numbers. The wings had an aspect ratio of 3, an unswept midchord line, and an NACA 64A003 profile. Results regarding the lift and pitching-moment characteristics and drag characteristics are provided.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation at Mach Numbers From 0.8 to 1.4 of Static Longitudinal and Lateral-Directional Characteristics of an Unswept-Wing Airplane Model

Description: "Results are presented for a wind-tunnel investigation of an airplane model with a 3.4-percent-thick unswept wing of aspect ratio 2.45 at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.4 at a Reynolds number of 1.5 million. Longitudinal characteristics are presented for the basic model and for configuration variations involving two types of wing camber, an area-rule fuselage modification, various external-store arrangements, several conventional missile installations and one designed according to the moment-of-are… more
