Preliminary Aerodynamic and Structural Tests Showing the Effect of Compressive Load on the Fairness of a Low-Drag Wing Specimen With Chordwise Hat-Section Stiffeners
Description:
Report presenting an investigation that is part of a research program to obtain structures suitable for low-drag wings. The purpose of this particular investigation was to study the drag characteristics of an NACA 66(215)-(1.25)16 airfoil specimen of two-spar construction with hat-section chordwise stiffeners after a compressive load comparable with the maximum applied flight load of a modern military airplane has been applied and removed. Results regarding the variation of section drag coeffic…
