Effect of Full-Span Trailing-Edge Elevons on the Transonic Longitudinal Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Wing-Body Combination Having a 3-Percent-Thick Triangular Wing With 60 Degree Leading-Edge Sweep

Chris C Critzos, W. E. Foss

Abstract

Report presenting the results of an investigation to determine the effects of full-span trailing-edge flaps on the static longitudinal characteristics of a triangular wing-body combination. Data was obtained for the basic configuration and for a wing with the control surfaces deflected for longitudinal control.
