Download or read book Effects of Spanwise Thickness Variation on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of 35 Degree and 45 Degree Sweptback Wings of Aspect Ratio 6 written by William D. Morrison and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aerodynamic investigation has been conducted in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the effects of taper-in-thickness on the aerodynamics characteristics of wings having 35 and 45 degrees of sweep-back, aspect ratio 6, and taper ratio 0.60. The wings were tapered from NACA 65A009 airfoil sections at the root chord to NACA 65A003 airfoil sections at the tip chord. The test Mach number range was from 0.60 to 1.14 at a Reynolds number of the order of 500,000.
