Abstract

Report discussing testing to determine the effect of sweepback on the longitudinal characteristics of a model of the Bell X-5 airplane at Mach number 1.24. Lift, drag, and pitching moments were obtained for several angles of attack. Effects on the drag coefficient and lift-curve slope are described.
