NACA-RM-A8D02
Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees - investigation of a large-scale model at low speed
Year: 1949
Abstract: INTRODUCTION
The theory developed in reference 1 indicates that aircraft employing wings of high sweepback and high aspect ratio should be capable of efficient flighty (L/D =10) at moderate supersonic Mach numbers. To provide information necessary for the design of such an airplane, a possible configuration for a transport-type airplane suitable for flight at speeds up to 1.5 Mach number is undergoing study in the research facilities of the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory.
The design incorporates a wing with the leading edge swept back 63°, an aspect ratio of 3.5, and a taper ratio of 0.25, with a fuselage of fineness ratio 12.5
The aerodynamic characteristics of this configuration are being examined over a large range of Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers. This report presents the aerodynamic characteristics at Low speed and high Reynolds number as determined in the Ames 40-by 80-foot wind tunnel.
