description abstractThe aerodynamic characteristics of several noncircular two-dimensional cylinders with axes normal to the steam at various flow incidences (analogous to angles of attack of a two dimensional airfoil and obtained by rotating the cylinders about their axes) for a range of Reynolds numbers have been determined from low-speed wind-tunnel tests. The results indicate that these parameters have rather large effects on the drag and side force developed on these cylinders. The side force is especially critical and very often undergoes a change in sign with a change in Reynolds number. Since the flow incidences correspond to combined angles of attack and sideslip in the crossflow plane of three-dimensional bodies, these two-dimensional results appear to have strong implications with regard to directional stability of fuselages at high angles of attack. These implications, along with those associated with the spin-recovery characteristics of aircraft, are briefly discussed.
