An Aerodynamic Investigation of a Low Aspect Ratio Wing
Abstract
The study consisted of modeling and testing a high-speed, low aspect ratio flying wing (no conventional center body or fuselage) to determine its lift, drag, and static stability characteristics at Mach numbers of 0.70 to 0.86. Six different configurations of stabilizing fins were tested along with the basic finless configuration. Wind tunnel test results are presented in graphic and tabular form for use in further design studies.
