The aerodynamic damping in roll of a series of wings has been investigated in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel at Mach numbers ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 by use of a forced oscillatory-roll technique. Tests were conducted on wings of aspect ratio 6 with sweep angles of 25, 35, and 45 deg and on 35 deg swept wings of aspect ratios 4 and 5.
