Effect of a Nacelle on the Low-speed Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Swept-back Wing

Frederick H Hanson, R. E. Dannenberg

Abstract

Wind-tunnel tests of a simplified nacelle on a semispan wing having approximately 35 degrees of sweepback were made at low speeds to evaluate the effects of the nacelle on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing. Force, moment, and pressure-distribution measurements are presented for the nacelle underslung and centrally mounted on the wing and mounted on a strut below the wing.
