Abstract
Report presenting results of an exploratory free-flight investigation at zero lift of several rocket-powered drag research models equipped wing wing tanks at a range of Mach numbers. The tanks, which were slender bodies of revolution, were mounted on 34 degrees sweptback, nontapered wings of 2.7 aspect ratio. Results regarding drag and trim change are provided.
