A comparison of theoretical and experimental pressure distributions for two advanced fighter wings

A comparison was made between experimental pressure distributions measured during testing of the Vought A-7 fighter and the theoretical predictions of four transonic potential flow codes. Isolated wind and three wing-body codes were used for comparison. All comparisons are for transonic Mach numbers and include both attached and separate flows. In general, the wing-body codes gave better agreement with the experiment than did the isolated wing code but, because of the greater complexity of the geometry, were found to be considerably more expensive and less reliable.

Wind tunnel pressure distribution tests on an airfoil with trailing edge flap

This report deals with pressure distribution tests on an airfoil with a conventional trailing edge flap. These tests were conducted in the Atmospheric Wind Tunnel of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Maximum chord loadings were obtained with the flap displaced downward and with the airfoil at large angles of attack. Greater changes were produced in the normal force and in the center of pressure travel by up-flap than by an equal down-flap displacement.

Pressure Distribution Induced on a Flat Plate at a Free-Stream Mach Number of 1.39 by Rockets Exhausting Upstream and Downstream

An experimental investigation was made of the pressures induced on a flat plate at a free-stream Mach number of 1.39 by a supersonic rocket jet exhausting upstream and downstream. Measurements of the pressure distribution on a flat plate were made at zero angle of attack for 11 different locations of the jet exhaust nozzle beneath the wing. Measurements were made at ratios of rocket-exit total pressure to freestream static pressure from 6 to 60 and at a Reynolds number per foot of approximately 10 x 10 6 . The rocket when exhausted upstream produced a strong shock that moved further upstream with increasing rocket-exit total-pressure ratio. Positive incremental normal-force coefficients were obtained at all test positions. Data at 11 test positions are tabulated for rocket-on and rocket-off pressure coefficients as well as for incremental pressure coefficients for the 48 orifices of the flat plate for the range of ratio of rocket-exit total pressure to free-stream static pressure of the investigation. Changing the location of the model with respect to the plate had a negligible effect when the rocket was varied in the chordwise direction, but the pressure coefficients were reduced as the rocket was lowered away from the flat-plate wing.

Pressure Distribution on a Wing Section with Slotted Flap in Free Flight Tests

The pressure distribution was measured in flight on a wing section with a slotted flap for several flap deflections, and the results obtained are presented. The test apparatus and the procedure employed in obtaining the results are also described. A Fieseler type F 5 R airplane was used for the tests.

Pressure-Distribution Measurements on Unyawed Swept-Back Wings

This report presents comprehensive pressure-distribution measurements on four (4) swept-back wings (phi = 0 deg, 15 deg, 30 deg, and 45 deg) of constant chord and over a large range of angles of attack with symmetrical air flow. The distributions, experimentally obtained, were compared with theoretical ones calculated by the methods of Weissinger and Multhopp.

Pressure distribution over NACA 23012 airfoil with a slotted and a split flap

A pressure-distribution investigation has been conducted in the NACA 4 by 6-foot vertical wind tunnel to determine the air loads on an NACA 23012 airfoil in combination with a 25.66-percent-chord slotted flap and a 20-percent-chord split flap. Pressures were measured on both the upper and the lower surfaces of the main airfoil and the flaps for several angles of attack and at several flap settings. The data, presented as pressure diagrams and as graphs of the section coefficients for the flap alone and for the airfoil-flap combinations, are applicable to rib and flap design for a combination of a thick airfoil and a slotted or a split flap. The results of previous tests of a NACA 23012 airfoil with a slotted flap are compared with the present results.

Investigation of Pressure Distribution over an Extended Leading-Edge Flap on a 42 Degrees Sweptback Wing

Pressure distribution over an extended leading-edge flap on a 42 degree swept-back wing was investigated. Results indicate that the flap normal-force coefficient increased almost linearly with the angle of attack to a maximum value of 3.25. The maximum section normal-force coefficient was located about 30 percent of the flap span outboard of the inboard end and had a value of 3.75. Peak negative pressures built up at the flap leading edge as the angle of attack was increased and caused the chordwise location of the flap center of pressure to be move forward.

Results of an Investigation of the 0.003-scale Space Shuttle External Tank MSFC Model 460 in the NASA/MSFC 14 x 14-inch Trisonic Wind Tunnel to Determine Static Pressure Distributions During Reentry (TA2F), Volume 1

Objectives of the test were to obtain static pressure distributions for the ET at reentry conditions. Basic configuration of the model was the MCR 0200 ET modified to include a rectangular crossbar at the aft ET/orbiter attach point. Mach numbers were 1.96, 3.48, and 4.96. Reynolds number per foot at these Mach numbers were 6.95 million, 6.42 million, and 4.95 million, respectively. Angle of attack range was -8 to 100 degrees and roll angle was 0 to 315 degrees. Occupancy hours were 104.
