THE EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL DETERMINATION OF THE ELASTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN AIRFRAMES,
Abstract
The development of analytical and experimental procedures for the definition of the structural response of airframes designed for performance in flight regimes varying from subsonic to hypersonic is described. The results of numerous model and prototype wing tests are summarized and compared with predictions based on the use of available methods of low aspect ratio wing analysis. Tests were performed in both an unheated and heated environment with the purpose of providing data over a range of geometric parameters and elevated temperature conditions. Recent tests relating to a hypersonic wing-body combination are described. A survey is given of promising new techniques and future requirements. (Author)
