The transonic characteristics of 38 cambered rectangular wings of varying aspect ratio and thickness as determined by the transonic-bump technique

Warren H Nelson, Walter J Krumm

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a series of rectangular wings with various aspect ratios and thickness-to-chord ratios using the transonic bump method. Testing occurred over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Lift, drag, and pitching moment data are presented for wings of 5 aspect ratios, NACA 63A2XX and 63A4XX sections, and 5 thickness-to-chord ratios.
