Wing Load Distribution on a Swept Wing Airplane in Flight at Mach Numbers up to 1.11, and Comparison with Theory
Study of aircraft in intraurban transportation systems, volume 1
An analysis of an effective short range, high density computer transportation system for intraurban systems is presented. The seven county Detroit, Michigan, metropolitan area, was chosen as the scenario for the analysis. The study consisted of an analysis and forecast of the Detroit market through 1985, a parametric analysis of appropriate short haul aircraft concepts and associated ground systems, and a preliminary overall economic analysis of a simplified total system designed to evaluate the candidate vehicles and select the most promising VTOL and STOL aircraft. Data are also included on the impact of advanced technology on the system, the sensitivity of mission performance to changes in aircraft characteristics and system operations, and identification of key problem areas that may be improved by additional research. The approach, logic, and computer models used are adaptable to other intraurban or interurban areas
Flight Investigation of the Effects of a Partial-span Leading-edge Chord Extension on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 35 Degree Swept-wing Fighter Airplane
Investigation of Wing Characteristics at a Mach Number of 1.53 III : Unswept Wings of Differing Aspect Ratio and Taper Ratio
Investigation of Wing Characteristics at a Mach Number of 1.53 I : Triangular Wings of Aspect Ratio 2
Investigation of Wing Characteristics at a Mach Number of 1.53 II : Swept Wings of Taper Ratio 0.5
Measured values of lift, drag, and pitching moment at M(sub o) = 1.53 are presented for seven wings varying in sweep angle from 60 degrees sweepforward to 60 degrees sweepback. All wings had a cambered, double-wedge section 5-percent thick and a common taper ratio of 0.5. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the linear theory
