Wing Covers For Aerodynamic Studies
Abstract
Techniques, problems, and solutions described. Report discusses construction of thin covers - known as "gloves" in industry - on wings of airplanes for use in aerodynamic studies. Made of foam cores and fiberglass-and-resin outer layers, contain instrumentation to measure properties of boundary layers, sounds, and pressures. Report focuses on gloves installed on F-14A and F-15A airplanes, and compares techniques used to construct gloves with technique used to construct glove on F-111 airplaine during previous study.
