EFFECTS OF FIXING TRANSITION ON THE TRANSONIC AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A WING-BODY CONFIGURATION AT REYNOLDS NUMBERS FROM 2.4 TO 12 MILLION

摘要

A wind-tunnel investigation has been made of the effects of fixing boundary-layer transition with wires on the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing-body configuration at Mach, numbers from 0.7 to 1.3。 The tests were conducted at constant Reynolds numbers of 2.4,4，8, and 12 million. The model consisted of an aspect-ratio-3 trapezoidal wing-with a 3 percent-thick biconvex section in combination with a Sears-Haack body of revolution.
