Wake Characteristics and Interactions of the Canard/Wing Lifting Surface Configuration of the X-29 Forward-Swept Wing Flight Demonstrator

Abstract

This technical note summarizes experimental lifting-surface wake data taken from a 1/10-scale, reflection-plane a model of the X-29 Forward Swept Wing Demonstrator. The model is configured with and without the canard to illustrate the canard/wing wake interactions. The data collected comprises total, dynamic, and static pressures as well as local velocity magnitudes and directions for a series of points around this model. The data point are arrayed to include flow regions near the model as well as the freestream wake regions downstream of its canard and wing.
