Abstract

Report discussing a pressure-distribution investigation of a wing of a supersonic aircraft in the presence of a fuselage at a specified Mach number and aerodynamic chord. The wing had a quarter chord swept back 40 degrees, an aspect ratio of 4, a taper ratio of 0.5, and 10-percent-thick circular-arc sections perpendicular to the quarter-chord line. The results were compared to a similar investigation at a different Mach number.
