Effects of Wing Trailing-Edge Truncation on Aerodynamic Characteristics of a NASA Supercritical-Wing Research Airplane Model

摘要

The Langley 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel was used at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 1.00 to determine the effects of wing trailing-edge truncation on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 0.0625-scale model of a NASA TF-8A supercritical-wing research airplane. The effects of trailing-edge truncations of 1, 2, and 3 percent of the local streamwise chord on the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics and the wing section characteristics are presented.
