Effects of wing warp on the lift, drag, and static longitudinal stability characteristics of an aircraft configuration having an arrow wing of aspect ratio 1.86 at Mach numbers from 1.1 to 1.7

Warren Gillespie

Abstract

Report presenting the results of a free-flight investigation to determine the effect of wing warp on the lift, drag, and static longitudinal stability characteristics of a low-drag aircraft with an arrow wing of aspect ratio 1.86. Results regarding the trim, drag, lift-drag ratios, and normal force and pitching moment are provided.
