Low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a series of swept wings having NACA 65A006 airfoil sections

Jones F Cahill, Stanley M Gottlieb

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of sweep, taper ratio, and aspect ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics of nine semispan wings with NACA 65A006 airfoil sections with and without split flaps. Lift, drag, pitching-moment, and wing-root bending-moment characteristics are presented for a range of Reynolds numbers.
