Interference of Wing and Fuselage From Tests of 30 Combinations With Triangular and Elliptical Fuselages in the NACA Variable-Density Tunnel

Albert Sherman

Abstract

Note presenting tests of 12 wing-fuselage combinations employing triangular and 18 employing elliptical fuselages made in the NACA variable-density tunnel as part of a program to investigate at large values of Reynolds number the aerodynamic effects of wing-fuselage interference. The parameters of combination covered in the investigation were the vertical position of the wing with respect to the fuselage axis, wing shape, and wing-fuselage juncture shape.
