Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Experimental data were obtained on several, sharp leading edge, wing-body combinations to support a theoretical investigation by the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation. Forces and moments were determined at Mach 8 and at a unit Reynolds number of 2 x 10 to the -6th power per foot. Data were also obtained on a few models at a Reynolds number of 0.8 x 10 to the -6th power per foot. All models were pitched from -10 to +20 deg. Two of the models were yawed from -3 to +15 deg while the pitch was held at a constant zero deg. (Author)
