Investigation of Wing Characteristics at a Mach Number of 1.53 II : Swept Wings of Taper Ratio 0.5

Abstract

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
