The Transonic Aerodynamic Characteristics of Structurally Related Wings of Low Aspect Ratio Having a Spanwise Variation in Thickness Ratio-transonic Bump Technique

J. W. Cleary

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of wings of aspect ratios of 4, 3, and 2 with a plan-form taper ratio of 0.5 and a thickness taper ratio of 0.33 to determine their transonic longitudinal characteristics and effects of tapering thickness ratio. Results regarding the combined effects of aspect ratio and thickness ratio and effects of tapered thickness ratio are provided.
