On the aerodynamic characteristics of thin slab delta wings at hypersonic speeds- part : effect of wing geometry

摘要

We report our findings on the aerodynamic characteristics of thin slab delta wings at hypersonic speeds. We have tested wings with three sweeps (76 deg, 70 deg and 65 deg) and four t/c ratios (0.04, 0.053, 0.066 and 0.10) using a special thin three-component balance. To date, the wing with t/c of 0.040 is the thinnest wing ever tested without lee-side body at any hypersonic Mach number.
