Summary of the Theoretical Lift, Damping-in-Roll, and Center-of-Pressure Characteristics of Various Wing Plan Forms at Supersonic Speeds
Abstract
The information for the determination of the theoretical lift, damping-in-roll, and center-of-pressure characteristics for a group of plan forms at supersonic speeds has been collected. This information is presented in three forms: first, equations; second, figures presenting generalized curves in which the quantities plotted are combinations of the geometric and aerodynamic parameters; and third, figures presenting curves for representative groups of specific configurations showing variation of the derivatives with Mach number. From this group several observations have been made as to the effect of taper ratio, angle of sweep, and aspect ratio on the values of the derivatives.
