Pitching-Moment Derivatives Cmq and Cma at Supersonic Speeds for a Slender-Delta-Wing and Slender-Body Combination and Approximate Solutions for Broad-Delta-Wing and Slender-Body Combinations

Abstract

The pitching-moment derivatives Cmq and Cma at supersonic speeds are developed for a slender-delta-wing and slender-body combination having no afterbody. By drawing an analogy between the aerodynamics of the wing-body section of the combination and the aerodynamics of a delta wing alone, the results for the slender-delta-wing and slender-body combination are modified to the extent that approximate solutions for Cmq and for broad-delta-wing and slender-body combinations can be obtained.
