Abstract

Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of the addition of one body-mounted external store, tip tanks, and several tip-mounted missile configurations on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of a fighter model with a low-aspect-ratio, unswept wing at Mach number 1.82. Many of the tip-mounted store configurations were found to produce increased lift-curve slopes and drag increments which decreased with increasing lift coefficient above lift coefficients of about 0.06.
