Abstract

Report presenting flutter data over a range of Mach numbers in free-flight testing of several wing-body combinations as part of a general zero-lift drag investigation. The wings all had the same streamwise airfoil sections and the plan-form variations consisted of delta wings, diamond wings, and an arrow wing. Time histories of model speed, Mach number, and air density are provided for each model as well as flutter frequency, amplitude, and reduced-frequency parameter plotted as functions of model speed.
