Flight Tests of an Airplane Model with a 62 Degree Swept-back Wing in the Langley Free-flight Tunnel

Bernard Maggin, Charles V. Bennett

Abstract

Report presenting power-off flight tests in the free-flight tunnel to determine the dynamic stability characteristics of an airplane model with a 42 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 5.9 and taper ratio 0.5. The static-stability and wing-stall characteristics of the model were also determined. Results regarding force tests, flow surveys, and flight tests are provided.
