The Effect of Wing Profile on the Transonic Characteristics of Rectangular and Triangular Wings Having Aspect Ratios of 3 : Transonic Bump Technique

Warren H Nelson, Joseph L Frank

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of wing profile on the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of rectangular and triangular wings with aspect ratios of 3. Five wings were compared over a range of Mach and Reynolds number. Results regarding the rectangular and triangular wings and use of transonic area rule are provided.
