A Compilation of the Pressures Measured on a Wing and Aileron with Various Amounts of Sweep in the Langley 8-Foot High-Speed Tunnel

Abstract

A compilation is presented, in tabular form, of pressures measured on the surface of a thin high-aspect-ratio wing at high subsonic Mach numbers. The wings possessed no sweep and 30 deg and 45 deg of sweepback and sweepforward. Each table presents the pressure coefficients obtained for the upper and lower surfaces of the wing with a given sweep, aileron deflections, and angle of attack at the various test Mach numbers. Only the results relatively free of wind-tunnel checking effects have been included.
