Title: Aerodynamic Characteristics at Transonic Speeds of a Wing Having a 45 Degree Sweep, Aspect Ratio 8, Taper Ratio 0.45, and Airfoil Sections Varying from the NACA 63A010 Section at the Root to the NACA 63A006 Section at the Tip.
Abstract: Report presenting an investigation in the 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with a spanwise variation in thickness ratio. The wings investigated had 45 degrees of sweepback, aspect ratio 8, taper ratio 0.45, and airfoil sections tapered from an NACA 63A010 section at the root chord to an NACA 63A006 section at the tip chord. Results regarding lift characteristics, drag characteristics, and pitching-moment characteristics are provided.
