Title: Basic Pressure Measurements at Transonic Speeds on a Thin 45 deg Sweptback Highly Tapered Wing With Systematic Spanwise Twist Variations
Abstract: Pressure distributions obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel on a thin, highly tapered, twisted, 45 deg sweptback wing in combination with a body are presented. The wing has a linear span-wise twist variation from 0 deg at 10 percent of the semispan to 6 deg at the tip. The tip is at a lower angle of attack than the root. Tests were made at stagnation pressures of 1.0 and 0.5 atmosphere, at Mach numbers from 0.800 to 1.200, and at angles of attack from -4 to 12 deg.
