Effects of Vertical Location of Wing and Horizontal Tail on the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Pitch at Mach Numbers from 0.60 to 1.40 of an Airplane Configuration with an Unswept Wing

Louis S Stivers, Garth W Lippmann

Abstract

Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effects of vertical location of an unswept wing and horizontal tail on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of a wing-body-tail combination. The wings had an aspect ratio of 3.09, a taper ratio of 0.39, the quarter-chord line swept back 11.5 degrees, and biconvex sections.
