Surface Pressure Measurements on a Highly Swept Delta Winged Wind Tunnel Model at Mach 2,3 and 4 (WTR1421).

Abstract

The surface pressures of a highly swept delta winged model were measured at Mach numbers of 2, 3, and 4 in the Naval Surface Weapons Center Supersonic Tunnel No. 2 (NSWC T-2) using a commercial pressure measurement system. The Tests were performed in May of 1985. Surface pressure measurements are reported for 75 percent of the body length and the entire span of the wing for 0, 5, 10, and 15 degrees angle of attack and all roll angles from 0 to 360 degrees in 22.5 degree increments. Keywords: Surface pressures, High angle of attack, High lift to drag, Tangent ogive nosetip, Supersonic wind tunnel.
