Investigation of Wing Characteristics at a Mach Number of 1.53 I : Triangular Wings of Aspect Ratio 2

Walter G. Vincenti, Jack N. Nielsen, Frederick H Matteson

Abstract

Report presenting wind-tunnel testing conducted on three sharp-edge wing models with a thickness ratio of 5 percent and a common triangular plan form of aspect ratio 2. Measurements of lift, drag, and pitching moment were made at Mach number 1.53. The experimental lift and moment curves were found to conform essentially with the superposition principle of the linear theory.
