Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 1.53 of an Airplane with a Triangular Wing

Richard Scherrer, William R Wimbrow

Abstract

Report discusses the results of an investigation into the aerodynamic characteristics of models of a tailless, pursuit-type, supersonic airplane employing a wing of triangular plan form. Measurements of lift, drag, and pitching moment, side force, drag, and yawing moment are described for several angles of attack and angles of yaw. Information about elevator and rudder behavior is also described.
