Experimental and theoretical study of the interference at low speed between slender bodies and triangular wings

Edward J. Hopkins, Hubert C Carel

Abstract

Report presenting the aerodynamic characteristics of several wing-fuselage combinations measured at a Mach number of 0.25. Each combination consisted of a triangular wing with an aspect ratio of 2.0 and body of revolution with a fineness ratio of 12.5. Results regarding wings in the presence of bodies, wing-body combinations, and dorsal fins are provided.
