The 45 swe2twing
10、and the fuselage of reference 1 were used in the present investiga-tion. A new steel resr fuselage sectionwas used with an aluminum-alloyvertical ad horizontal tail. The wing and horizontal tail had a sweepangle of 45 at the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 4, taper ratioof 0.6j and em NACA 6!

The vertical tail was sweptback 45 at the trailing edge, had an aspect ratio of 1.177, and had anNACA 63(10)AOQJ airfoil section.The model was tested on the sting-supyortsystem shown in figure 3With this support system the model can be remotely operatedthrough a28 angle-of-atta
12、ckrange in the plane of the vertical strut. The useof couplings in the sting behind the model makes it possible to supportthe model at angles of sideslip of -4 or 4 while the model is testedthrough the angle-of-attackrange.TESTS AND CORRECTIONS.The tests were conducted in the Iangley high-speed 7- b
13、y 10-foottunnel through a Mach number range from approximately0.4 to 0.95. Thesize of the model caused the tunnel to choke at a Mach number of about0.96. The blocking corrections,which were applied, were determinedbythe method of reference 2.The jet-boundsry corrections,which were applied to the ang
14、le ofattack, were determinedby the method of reference 3. The correctionsto the lateral force, yawing moment, and rolling moment were investigatedand were considerednegligible.No tare corrections,for the effect of the sting support,have beenapplied to the data. The results of an investigationto dete

17、. The tare correctionsto the effective-dihedralderiva-tive CzP were negligible for all configurationstested. During the actual running of the tests, difficulty was experiencedwith the lateral-force component of the strain-gagebalance not main-taining a constant zero. Because of the erratic nature of
18、 this zerodrift, it was not possible to correct the latersl-force data. The magni-tude of the lateral-force derivative CyB may be in error (generallylow) by as much as 0.001; however, it is-believed that the variationsof CyB with Mach nuniberand angle of attack are fairly accurate repre-sentations o

Correc-tions to rolling moment for the aeroelastic distortion of the wing havenot been applied to the data. These correctionswere evaluated, ho
