description abstractINTRODUCTION
For supersonic aircraft, the wings of which are not swept behind the Mach cone, airfoil sections -with sharp leading edges are considered necessary to minimize the drag due to wave resistance. The maximum lift of such a wing profile at subsonic speeds is relatively low due to the occurrence of laminar separation at the wing leading edge at small angles of attack. Accordingly auxiliary lift-producing devices are essential to provide the aircraft with acceptable landing and take-off characteristics.
In order to ascertain the effectiveness of constant-chord leading and trailing-edge flaps applied to such a wing, tests of a semispan model have been conducted in the Ames Moot pressure wind tunnel. The model represented a wing of aspect ratio 4, a taper ratio of 0.50, with a sharp-edge diamond profile of thickness ratio 0.045. The tests were made at Mach numbers of 0.20 and 0.30 and at a range of Reynolds numbers from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000.
