Four models of an aircraft configuration with a 55 degree swept wing were flown at Mach numbers between 0.9 end 1.4, at Reynolds numbers up to 10 million and lift coefficients between zero and 0.5. Measurements of the ...
This report presents the first stage of an investigation of the response to random noise of a stiffened cylinder, representing an aircraft fuselage, including an analysis of the lower modes of such a cylinder. Preliminary ...
This report describes a series of free-flight tests designed to investigate various methods of body shaping to achieve low drag at transonic and supersonic speeds. In all, ten configurations were flown; three had unwaisted ...
Pressure and heat-transfer measurements have been made in free flight on a caret wing with blunt leading edges and nose, at speeds below and above the design Mach number of 2.47. Comparison with data from a corresponding ...
Pressure and heat-transfer measurements have been made on the lee surface of a delta wing at 14 degrees incidence in free flight over a Mach number range of 1.0 to 3.6 and at free-stream Reynolds numbers between 6 and 24 ...
Free-flight measurements have been made of the pressure distributions over a series of related afterbodies attached to a common cone-cylinder body of revohition. The Mach number range covered was from 0.9 to 1.5 and the ...
Measurements of the roll-damping derivative of three wing planforms were made by the free-flight roll-balance technique over the Mach number range 0.7 to 1.4. The wings were all of RAE 102 section, 7.5 per cent t/c and ...
