Transonic Wind-tunnel Investigation of the Low-lift Aerodynamic Characteristics, Including Effects of Leading Edge Droop and Thickness, of a Thin Trapezoidal Wing in Combination with Basic and Indented Bodies

Thomas C. Kelly

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation in the transonic tunnels to determine the aerodynamic force characteristics at low lift coefficients for a 2-percent-thick trapezoidal wing tested in combination with basic and indented bodies. The effects of wing leading-edge droop and wing thickness were investigated. Testing occurred over a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack.
