Gust-Tunnel Investigation of a Flexible-Wing Model With Semichord Line Swept Back 45 deg
Abstract
An investigation was made in the Langley gust tunnel of a flexible-wing model with the semichord line swept back 45 deg to obtain experimental data on the amount of gust-load alleviation that might be expected as a result of the wings flexing under load. The results indicated that unless adverse pitching motion, could be eliminated or reduced the overall load reduction would be small. The net reduction in bending moment, however, may be appreciable.
