Download or read book A Supersonic Area Rule and an Application to the Design of a Wing body Combination with High Lift drag Ratios written by Richard T. Whitcomb and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: As an extension of the transonic area rule, a concept for interrelating the wave drags of wing-body combinations at moderate supersonic speeds with axial developments of cross-sectional area has been derived. The wave drag of a combination at a given supersonic speed is related to a number of developments of cross-sectional areas as intersected by Mach planes. On the basis of this concept and other design procedures, a structurally feasible, swept-wing--indented-body combination has been designed to have relatively high maximum lift-drag ratios over a range of transonic and moderate supersonic Mach numbers. The wing of the combination has been designed to have reduced drag associated with lift and, when used with an indented body, to have low zero-lift wave drag. Experimental results have been obtained for this configuration at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 2.01. Maximum lift-drag ratios of approximately 14 and 9 were measured at Mach numbers of 1.15 and 1.41, respectively.

Book excerpt: An investigation was conducted in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a thin 60 degree delta wing with two leading-edge modifications (conical leading-edge camber and leading-edge droop) in combination with bodies with and without body indentation in accordance with the transonic-area-rule concept. The tests covered a Mach number range from 060 to 1.15 and an angle-of-attack range from -4 to 20 degrees at a Reynolds number of about 3,000,000 based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord. The wing had an aspect ratio of 2.31, a taper ratio of 0, and, without modifications, had NACA 65A003 airfoil sections parallel to the model plane of symmetry.

Kelly and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pressure data have been obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 1.115 and angles of attack from 0 to 20 degrees for wing-body configurations employing a thin trapezoidal wing in combination with basic and indented bodies. The wing had 26.6 degrees sweepback of the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 2.61, a taper ratio of 0.211, and 2-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry. Results are also presented for the basic body alone. Reynolds numbers for the tests were on the order of 2,600,000, based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord.
