Low Speed Wind Tunnel Investigation of a .09 Scale, Navy Model T-2C Subsonic Jet Trainer Aircraft, from -8 to +83 Degrees Angle-of-Attack

Abstract

The aerodynamic stability and control characteristics of a .09 scale T-2C model have been investigated in the NASA-Ames 12-foot pressure wind tunnel. The T-2C is a straight, fixed-wing Navy jet trainer aircraft manufactured by the Columbus Division of Rockwell International Corporation. The data span angles-of-attack from -8 to 83 degrees and sideslip angles of -10 to 30 degrees for various deflections of the ailerons, rudder, and elevator. The data are judged to be sufficient in quality and quantity to fully define the static aerodynamic characteristics of the T-2 aircraft in low speed flight.
