Analysis of Wind Tunnel Data Pertaining to High Angle of Attack Aerodynamics. Volume II. Data Base.

Abstract

This volume presents, in summary form, the geometric and aerodynamic data used as a basis for the design guidelines presented in Volume I. The summaries have been divided into eight sections, the first seven being the low speed tests, which include almost all the configuration development studies and most of the high AOA testing. Data summaries for the transonic and supersonic testing form the eighth and last section. Because of the considerable quantity of data available from all the testing (some test reports containing as much as thirteen volumes), it is not practical to include the summaries in all the basic aerodynamic data available. In general, only the main aerodynamic effects are presented or summarized, and for more detailed information on a particular configuration, reference should be made to the actual wind tunnel report. All the data summaries are presented in a similar way, and include the following information: a data sheet including the test report title, a summary of the report, and the test conditions; a general three view of a representative test model configuration; detailed sketches of the pertinent configurations changes; and the relevant aerodynamic data.
