Downwash Behind a Triangular Wing of Aspect Ratio 3 - : Transonic Bump Method

John A. Axelson

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of the lift, drag, pitching-moment, and downwash characteristics of a triangular wing of aspect ratio 3 with an NACA 63A006 section. Downwash was measured by using an all-movable horizontal tail at five locations. Results regarding basic wing characteristics and stability contribution of the tail are also provided.
