Book Description
A test program was conducted to obtain measurements of flow velocities and static pressures in the vicinity of wing-body-store model (representative of a fighter-type aircraft) as well as surface pressures, forces, and moments on the model. Flow velocities and static pressures were also measured near the tunnel walls to provide outer flow field information. This report presents the data obtained during the test program conducted in the 4T and 16T Wind Tunnels at Arnold Engineering Development Center. The Flow-field data were obtained at Mach numbers 0.925, 0.975, and 1.025 and constitute the major part of the data. Volume I is a summary report which gives detailed information on the test program and presents uncertainties associated with the various types of data taken in the 4T Wind Tunnel. The volume also presents tunnel-empty and Mach-number surveys, as well as tabulated force and moment and pressure data for the Mach number range 0.80 to 1.15 and angles of attack -2, -5, 0, 2, and 5.
