Download or read book A Buffet Investigation at High Subsonic Speeds of Wing-fuselage-tail Combinations Having Sweptback Wings with NACA 64A Thickness Distributions, Fences, a Leading-edge Extension, and Body Contouring written by Fred B. Sutton and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation has been made to determine the effect of wing fences, a wing leading-edge extension, changing wing sweepback angle from 40 to 45 and 50 degrees, fuselage contouring, and varying horizontal tail height upon the buffeting response of some typical airplane configurations employing sweptback wings with high aspect ratios. The tests were conducted through an angle-of-attack range at Mach numbers varying from 0.60 to 0.92 at a Reynolds number of 2 million.
