Transonic Wing/Store Flow-Field Measurement Using a Laser Velocimeter

Abstract

A test was conducted in the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel (1T) of the Propulsion Wind Tunnel Facility (PWT) to measure the flow fields about several wing/pylon/store configurations. Test models included a wall-mounted swept wing, five-percent MK-83 and M-117 stores, and swept and unswept pylons. Flow-field velocity measurements, made by using a three-component laser velocimeter, are presented. (Author)
