Abstract

Report presenting an investigation at a Mach number of 1.24 to determine the distribution of lift, drag, and pitching moment between the wing and fuselage of a scale semispan model of the Bell X-5 airplane. Lift, drag, pitching moments, and wing bending moments were obtained for various angles of attack for 40 through 60 degrees sweptback duralumin wings in the presence of, but detached from, the fuselage.
