AN INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF LIFT ON SONIC-BOOM INTENSITY BY MEANS OF WIND-TUNNEL MEASUREMENTS OF THE PRESSURE FIELDS OF SEVERAL WING-BODY COMBINATIONS AT A MACH NUMBER OF 2.01
Abstract
An investigation of the effect of lift on sonicboom intensity was performed by means of windtunnel measurements of the pressure fields surrounding small wing-body combinations. Effects of lift were found to be real and significant. Measured bow-shock intensities agreed fairly well with, but were consistently less than, shock intensities estimated by theoretical methods. Available flight data were examined for correlation with wind-tunnel test results. (Author)
