George A Rathert, Howard L Ziff, George E. Cooper

Abstract

Report presenting the results of a series of exploratory flights on a 35 degree swept-wing airplane up to Mach number 1.09 to show the effects of compressibility on imposing maneuverability limits. Results regarding the maneuvering accelerations and buffet boundary are provided.
