Title: Yaw characteristics and sidewash angles of a 42 degree sweptback circular-arc wing with a fuselage and with leading-edge and split flaps at a Reynolds number of 5,300,000
Abstract: Report presenting testing of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics in yaw of a 42 degree sweptback wing of circular-arc airfoil sections in the pressure tunnel. The wing had an aspect ratio of 3.94, taper ratio of 0.625, and no dihedral or twist. Results regarding lateral-stability parameters of plain wing, effect of wing flaps on lateral-stability parameters, effect of fuselage on lateral-stability parameters, a comparison with the NACA 64(sub 1)-112 wing, characteristics in the extended yaw range, and airflow characteristics in the region of a vertical tail are provided.
