Wind-tunnel investigation of basic aerodynamic characteristics of a supercritical-wing research airplane configuration

D. W. Bartlett, R. J. Re

Abstract

Transonic pressure tunnel and transonic tunnel tests were performed to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a 0.087 scale model of a supercritical wing research airplane configuration at Mach numbers from 0.25 to 1.30. The investigation included tests to determine the basic longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics, the lateral-directional aerodynamic characteristics for sideslip angles of 0 deg and + or - 2.5 deg, and the effects of Reynolds number and aeroelasticity.
