Basic Pressure Measurements at Transonic Speeds on a Thin 45 deg Sweptback Highly Tapered Wing with Systematic Spanwise Twist Variations
Pressure distributions obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel on a thin, highly tapered, twisted, 450 sweptback wing in combination with a body are presented. The wing has a cubic spanwise twist variation from 0 deg. at 10 percent of the semispan to 60 at the tip. The tip is at a lower angle of attack than the root. Tests were made at stagnation pressures of 1.0 and 0.5 atmosphere, at Mach numbers from 0 0.800 to 1.200, and at angles of attack from -4 deg. to 20 deg
Calculation of Aerodynamic Loading and Twist Characteristics of a Flexible Wing at Mach Numbers Approaching 1.0 and Comparison with Experiment
An iteration method is presented by which the detailed aerodynamic loading and twist characteristics of a flexible wing with known elastic properties may be calculated. The method is applicable at Mach numbers approaching 1.0 as well as at subsonic Mach numbers. Calculations were made for a wing-body combination; the wing was swept back 45 deg and had an aspect ratio of 4. Comparisons were made with experimental results at Mach numbers from.0.80 to 0.98

Report discussing pressure distributions on a thin conical cambered low-aspect-ratio delta wing over a range of Mach numbers. Combinations tested included the wing in combination with a basic Sears-Haack body and a body indented symmetrically for Mach number 1.2. Results regarding wing pressure distributions, effects of body indentation on the wing pressure, body pressure distributions, and effects of body indentation on body pressures are presented
