Calculations from these data indicate that the twist due to bending, ACP, at the test condition where the aerodynamk load is greatest (?i - 0.25, R = ,COO,OOO) is about -2.20 (at the tip) per unit lift coefficient.

Figure 6 shows lift, drag, and pitching-moment data obtained at Reynolds nu all Reynolds numbers and occurred at a lift coefficfent of about 0.4 as shown by figure 22. An inc

High speed.- As may be noted from the data of figure 7, the angle of attack for zero lift varied only slightly from its design value of -lo throughout the range of Mach numbers from 0.25 to 0.92. T
9、he pitching- moment coefficfent at zero lift, however, became slightly negative with increasing Mach number, attatiing a value of -0.015 at a mch number of 0.92. The reduction in longitudinal stability and abrupt increase in drag occurred at lower lift coeffFcients as the Mach number was increased.
10、!l?he flow changes accompanying these stabflity and drag changes can be observed in the tuft photographs in figures 18(c) and 18(d). At a B in fact, they msde the wing-fuselage combination longitudinally stable at the stall. The three small fences (A, B, and C) did not substantially improve the pitc

The tuft photographs in figures 18(c) and 18(d) show that at these Mach numbers separation, probably induced by a shock wave, occurred considerably forward of the fences. Extended fences.- In order to interrupt
12、the spanwise flow within the separated region at high Mach numbers, the two outer fences were replaced with three fences extending well forward of the region of sepa- ration (fig. 3). These fences were placed at 50, 70, and 85 percent of the semispan. This fence configuration (denoted A, D, E, and F
13、 in the figures) proved to be very effective in improving the pitching-moment characteristics at the higher Mach numbers as shown in figures 15(c) and 15(d), as well as at a Mach number of 0.25 as shown in figures 15(a) and 15(b).
