Comparison of Wind-Tunnel, Rocket, and Flight Drag Measurements for Eight Airplane Configurations at Mach Numbers Between 0.7 and 1.6

Paul E Purser

Abstract

Report presenting comparisons of low-lift drag measurements on eight airplane configurations at a range of Mach numbers by various techniques. Data was obtained from wind tunnel testing, rocket propelled model tests, and airplane flight tests. The agreement of data is generally good and no consistent Reynolds number effects are observed.
