In the past decade the problems associated with high-speed flight have increasingly occupied the minds of many workers in aerodynamics and aircraft structures. The possibility of achieving supersonic flight has introduced ...
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 ...
The effect of changes in the shape of the windscreen on the drag of a cockpit canopy has been measured on models in free flight. Canopies were attached to the models by means of a flexible mounting in such a way as to allow ...
