Abstract
Report presenting a transonic investigation made by the free-fall technique of a plane wing and a cambered and twisted wing, each with an aspect ratio 6, taper ratio of 0.5, and a sweepback of 45 degrees. Measurements were made of the loads on the exposed wings, pressures on the fuselage in the vicinity of the wing, and acceleration and angle of attack of the complete model.
