Measurement of Wake Interactions of a Canard and a Forward Swept Wing.

Abstract

Experimental lifting surface wake data were taken from a canard/forward-swept wing reflecting plane wind tunnel model. The data include distributions of total, dynamic, and static pressures as well as cross velocity magnitudes and directions for an array of points around the model, both near the model and in its freestream wake. The model was tested as a body alone, as a wing/body combination, and as a wing/body/canard combination in order to compare wing wakes to wing/canard wakes.
