Flight Determination of the Drag and Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a Rocket-powered Model of a 60 Degrees Delta-wing Airplane from Mach Numbers 0.75 to 1.70

Grady L. Mitcham, Norman L. Crabill, Joseph E. Stevens

Abstract

Report discussing an investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a model of a tailless delta-wing airplane configuration with a leading edge swept back 60 degrees at a range of Mach numbers. Information about lift-curve slope, buffeting, drag rise, hinge-moment coefficients, transonic trim, and stability is provided.
