Abstract
Investigation of the effect on zero-lift drag of varying the size and number of symmetrically mounted nacelles on a 45 degree sweptback wing and body combination as determined by free-flight tests of rocket-propelled models over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. The nacelle configuration consisted of a twin-engine nacelle near the fuselage, a combination of single-engine nacelles at the wing tip and fuselage, a large nacelle at the wing tip, and a large nacelle near the fuselage.
