Large-scale wind-tunnel tests of an airplane model with a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 2.8 employing high-velocity blowing over the leading- and trailing-edge flaps

D. H. Hickey, K. Aoyagi

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the longitudinal characteristics of an airplane model with a thin, highly swept and tapered wing of low aspect ratio equipped with plain leading-edge flaps in conjunction with blowing-type boundary-layer control applied to flap radius. Several leading-edge configurations and boundary-layer control system variables were also investigated.
