Transonic flight tests to determine zero-lift drag and pressure recovery of nacelles located at the wing root on a 45 degree sweptback wing and body configuration

Sherwood Hoffman, WILLIAM B. PEPPER

Abstract

Report presenting the zero-lift drag of a sweptback wing and body combination with nacelles with NACA 1-50-250 nose inlets locate in the wing tips as determined by flight tests of rocket-powered models at transonic speeds. Results regarding the pressure recovery and the effect of the nacelles on it are also provided.
