Abstract

Memorandum presenting an investigation of a series of wing-fuselage configurations to determine the effects of wing geometry on aerodynamic characteristics. This paper presents the force, moment, wake, and downwash measurements made on a fuselage and wing-fuselage combination of specified measurements. The current phase of the investigation is focused on varying the sweepback of the 0.25-chord line of the wing.
