Tabulated Data From a Pressure-Distribution Investigation at Mach Number 2.01 of a 45 Deg Sweptback-Wing Airplane Model at Combined Angles of Attack and Sideslip

A pressure-distribution investigation of a wing-body combination has been conducted in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at a Mach number of 2.01. The model configuration consisted of an ogive-circular-cylinder body (fineness ratio of approximately ii) and a wing with 45 deg of sweepback at the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 4, and a taper ratio of 0.2. Data were obtained on high-, mid-, and low-wing configurations and for the body and wing alone for a range of angles of attack and yaw from 0 deg to 15 deg. The tabulated pressure coefficients are presented in this report.

Effects of Mach number and afterbody length on aerodynamic side forces at zero sideslip on symmetric bodies at high angles of attack

Wind-tunnel measurements of side force over the Mach number range of 0.25 to 2 for pointed forebody-alone and for ogive-cylinder models of various fineness ratios up to 16, are presented. The angle of attack where side force first occurs (onset), where it returns to zero (upper limit), and its magnitude are examined. The onset angle depends only on body geometry, longer bodies having lower onset angles. The upper limit, which is about 80 deg at M = 0.25, decreases with Mach number. The maximum side forces decrease with increasing Mach number, approaching zero within the Mach number range of 0.8 to 1.2; within this range, the Mach number at which the forces approach zero varies directly with forebody slenderness.

Low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a 0.08-scale YF-17 airplane model at high angles of attack and sideslip

Data were obtained with and without the nose boom and with several strake configurations; also, data were obtained for various control surface deflections. Analysis of the results revealed that selected strake configurations adequately provided low Reynolds number simulation of the high Reynolds number characteristics. The addition of the boom in general tended to reduce the Reynolds number effects.
