SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT PROGRAM PHASE 11C
Abstract
Preliminary studies have been conducted on aerodynamic improvements in the 733-290 wing configuration by incorporating a reflex in the trailing edge airfoil section. A more comprehensive investigation of wing trailing edge reflexing is being undertaken in which a new digital computer program will be used. Flight simulator and analytical studies of stability augmentation requirements that have been conducted to date indicate that stability augmentation will not be required for safety-of-flight at high altitude and high mach number conditions. Comprehensive investigation is underway on establishing airplane handling characteristics and stability augmentation requirements to enhance the handling qualities at all critical flight conditions. The quarter- scale pivot test specimens continue to demonstrate excellent life characteristics. Tests have continued on the perforated ceiling type cabin air outlet. New results from titanium alloy high temperature exposure tests have shown that the high temperature stress corrosion problem in titanium alloys is not as serious as previously believed.
