The effect of conical camber on the static longitudinal, lateral, and directional characteristics of a 45-degree sweptback wing at Mach numbers up to 0.96

Robert I Sammonds, R. M. Reynolds

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of conical camber on the drag due to lift and on the static longitudinal, lateral, and directional stability characteristics of an aspect-ratio-3, 45 degree sweptback wing in combination with a streamline body. The addition of conical camber to the basic wing reduced the drag due to lift at moderate and large lift coefficients and increased the maximum lift-drag ratios.
