Summary: |
An investigation has been made to detemnine the effects of an inverse-taper leading-edge flap on the drag and on the static-longitudinal characteristics of a swept-wing-body conibination. The wing had 45 degrees of leading-edge sweepback, an aspect ratio of 3, a taper ratio of 0.4, and no camber or twist. However, with the flap deflected, the wing had a camber and twist distribution similar to that resulting from the incorporation of conical camber in the forward portion of a plane wing. The tests were conducted over a range of Mach numbers from 0.25 to 0.92 at a Reynolds number of 3.2 million, and over a Reynolds number range of 3.2 million to 15 million at a Mach number of 0.25 with flap deflections to 16 degrees. |
