Investigation of some factors affecting comparisons of wind-tunnel and flight measurements of maximum lift coefficients for a fighter-type airplane

D. D. Davis, Harold H Sweberg

Abstract

Report presenting a full-scale-tunnel investigation to study the effects of time rate of change of angle of attack, idling propeller operation, and Reynolds number on the maximum lift coefficient of a single-engine fighter-type airplane. Flight test measurements of maximum lift coefficient were also made and compared to wind-tunnel data.
