Wind-tunnel Investigation of the Vortex Wake and Downwash Field Behind Triangular Wings and Wing-body Combinations at Supersonic Speeds

J Richard Spahr, R. DICKEY

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of the flow field behind triangular wings alone and in combination with a pointed cylindrical body at Mach numbers of 1.5 and 2.0 through an angle-of-attack range of 0 to 24 degrees. Results regarding the geometric characteristics of the vortex system and downwash characteristics are provided.
