Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Report presenting chordwise pressure distributions measured over the left wing of a Convair XF-92A delta-wing airplane at low lift to determine the effect of Mach number on the wing characteristics at transonic speeds. The critical Mach number of the basic wing was 0.83 for an airplane normal-force coefficient at 0.09. The spanwise load distributions were roughly triangular in shape.
