AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS AND FLYING QUALITIES OF A TAILLESS TRIANGULAR-WING AIRPLANE CONFIGURATION AS OBTAINED FROM FLIGHTS OF ROCKET-PROPELLED MODELS AT TRANSONIC AND LOW SUPERSONIC SPEEDS

摘要

A flight Investigation has been made at the Langley Pilotless Air­craft Research Station at Wallops Island, Va., to determine the aero-dynamic characteristics of models of a tailless triangular-wing airplane configuration. The results from three successful flight tests are presented for the Mach number range between 0.75 and 1.28.
