A buffet investigation at high subsonic speeds of wing-fuselage-tail combinations having sweptback wings with NACA 64A thickness distributions, fences, a leading-edge extension, and body contouring /

An investigation has been made to determine the effect of wing fences, a wing leading-edge extension, changing wing sweepback angle from 40 to 45 and 50 degrees, fuselage contouring, and varying horizontal tail height upon the buffeting response of some typical airplane configurations employing sweptback wings with high aspect ratios. The tests were conducted through an angle-of-attack range at Mach numbers varying from 0.60 to 0.92 at a Reynolds number of 2 million.NACA Research Memorandum A57F06A.On front cover: "August 1, 1957."Title from cover.Includes bibliographical references: p. 16-17.An investigation has been made to determine the effect of wing fences, a wing leading-edge extension, changing wing sweepback angle from 40 to 45 and 50 degrees, fuselage contouring, and varying horizontal tail height upon the buffeting response of some typical airplane configurations employing sweptback wings with high aspect ratios.
