Abstract

Report presenting the first results of pressure measurements obtained on a fuselage and a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination at transonic speeds in the slotted test section of the 8-foot high-speed tunnel. The test was part of a systematic investigation of varying amounts of sweepback on wings suitable for transonic flight. Results regarding the wing, fuselage, and fuselage with wing are provided.
