Abstract

Abstract : Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a 1/7 scale model of the OV-1 airplane to determine the power-off drag, lift, and pitching moment coefficients of the model and its various components. Significant drag differences were measured between production canopy and nacelle configurations and streamlined fuselage and nacelle configurations, but are not considered applicable. No other significant drag differences were measured.
