Abstract

Report presenting the aerodynamic load characteristics for a wing-body combination for a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. Two wings with the same dimensions but different types of construction (one of solid steel, one of plastic with an inner steel core) were tested. Results regarding flow studies, chordwise pressure distributions, spanwise load distributions, panel loads, center of loads, and twist distribution are provided.
