Effect of wing camber and twist at Mach numbers from 1.4 to 2.1 on the lift, drag, and longitudinal stability of a rocket-powered model having a 52.5 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 and inline tail surfaces

Warren Gillespie

Abstract

Report presenting a free-flight investigation to determine the effect of wing camber and twist at Mach numbers from 1.4 to 2.1 on the lift, drag, and longitudinal stability of a configuration with 52.5 degrees sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3, and inline tail surfaces. Results regarding drag, total normal force and pitching moment, and wash at the horizontal tail are provided.
