1、RESEARCH MEMORANDUM WIND-TUNNEL INVESTIGATION AT MACH NUMBERS FROM 0.50 TO 1.29 OF AN ALL-MOVABLE TRIANGULAR WING OF ASPECT RATIO 4 ALONE AND WITH A BODY By LoF: IXIAE- mG OF ASPECTRKLIO4ALCNEMDWITRABCfDY By Louis S.

As a consequence, it appears that a compromise would confront the designer contemplating the use of an all-movable wing or ccntrol surface on supersonic aircraft. It is expected that the design of all.ovable lifting surf

Recourse to theory does not necessarily lead to satisfactory design data. Further- more, in the transonic Mach number range the applicability of existing theory wou

Inordertoprovide experimental data in the transonic Mach number range applicable to the design of trielan-form,all-movable lifting surfaces, an investigation has been made of an all-movable wirg in the Ames l-by +l/Sfoot high-speed windtunnel. The results of this invest

For the tests of the uiwbody combination, the body attitude was fixed at O“, and the gap between the wing root and body remained unsealed. The wing-induced lift on the body (body atti

For this condition, the models were mounted in an identical manner to that for the wing and body tests except that the wing spindle was held independently of the balance

Insofar as known, there are no existing theories which are directly applicable to the wing and body configuration of this report; therefore, the following procedures were employed in the calculation of the slopes. _ . For the calculations at subsonic Ma
14、ch numbers, it was assumed that the body could be replaced by a flat surface with boundaries that are formed by extending the leading and trailing edges of the all- movable wing to the axis of symmetry of the body. The surface replacing the body remains at zero angle of attack and the all+uovable wi
15、ng fe thought of as a flat, full-chord, partial-pan, outboard control surface. The theory of reference 4 then provides a method for determining the total lift on the control surface and the fixed surface, and the dis- tribution of lift between the two. Liftiurve slope8 (rate of change of lift coeffi
16、cient with control-surface deflection) calculated by the methods of this reference, however, are not specificeUy applicable to the present configuration since the theory is valid only for lifting surfaces of very low aspect ratio. It was believed, nevertheless, that this restriction could be allevia
17、ted, at least for a configuration of aspect ratio 4, if ratios of lifkurve slopes were employed, that is, the ratios of the slopes given by the the whereas those for the wing in the presence of the body are about 17 percent less. The experi- mental and calculated slopes for the induced lift on the b
18、ody arein good agreant at all the slibsonic Maoh numbers. At stqersonic Mach nmibers the experimental slopes for the wing and body are about 16 percent lea6 than those calculated; those for the wing in the presence of the body, about 13 percent less; and those for the induced lift on the body, from
19、about 25 to 30 percent Less. These disagreements between the cal- culated and experimental slopes are considered to be generally small in viewofthe procedureandtheoryemployed, andof theneglect, incomurm withthe theory forthewing alone, of viscous asd secondSwder ccqprea- sibility effects. Because th
20、e agreementbetweenthe calculatedand Provided by IHSNot for Resale-,-,-10 NACA RM A9LOl experimental lifl+curve slopes is generally so much better for the wing in the presence of the body than for the wing alone, it is felt that the influence of the tunnel-wall boundary layer on the flow around the w
21、ing in the presence of the body was small. Although there may have been a significant effect of the tunnel-wall boundary layer on the lift induced on the body, suchan effect appears to have influenced the cam- bined lifts of the wing and body but very little. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that
22、 the body lift is only a small part-of the total. It is of interest to note the difference between the calculated and experimental lift-curve slopes for a semispan all+novable triangular wing tested in the presence of a body at a Mach number of X.9 and reported in reference 12. The wing of this refe
23、rence had an aspect ratio of 2.31 and tiularc-a;r c sections P-percent chord thick, and wrc-plan-form wing of aspect ratio 4 is shown in figure 14 at subsonic and supersonic Mach numbers.

The subsonic values of this C8hXikted drarise factor were determined by the methods of reference 1, but for all practical purposes are equivalent to the constant l/3 whereas at supersonic Mach ntmibers 2t is identical to that Cuert, H.: Wind+Iunnel Interference on Wing
