Rotary balance data and analysis for the X-29A airplane for an angle-of-attack range of 0 deg to 90 deg

摘要

The rotational aerodynamic characteristics are discussed for a 1/8 scale model of the X-29A airplane. The effects of rotation on the aerodynamics of the basic model were determined, as well as the influence of airplane components, various control deflections, and several forebody modifications. These data were measured using a rotary balance, over an angle of attack range of 0 to 90 deg, for clockwise and counter clockwise rotations covering an omega b/2V range of 0 to 0.4.
