Aerodynamic Configured Missile Development - Final Report: Volume 2 - Configuration Development

Description: Report presenting the results of a program investigating aerodynamic configuring as a method of improving long range supersonic cruise and maneuvering missile performance. Testing and development of non-circular body, lifting body, blended wing body, wing-body and favorable interference concepts are discussed. Substantial improvements in cruise range are shown to result from aero configuring.

Structural Design and Wind Tunnel Testing of a Forward Swept Fighter Wing

Description: Report discussing design of an advanced composite fighter demonstrator wing, designed employing aeroelastic tailoring methodology to eliminate divergence and flutter at minimum weight. A highly representative dynamically scaled 0.6-size wind tunnel model was designed and analyzed for strength and divergence and flutter characteristics. Three 0.6-scale models were built and tested in the NASA 16-foot transonic dynamics tunnel, LRC, and the results analyzed and documented.
