Some methods for reducing wing drag and wing-Nacelle interference

Primary efforts directed toward drag reduction centered on the design of both supercritical and subcritical families of airfoils, the reduction of induced drag through the use of vortex diffusers, and the reduction of interference drag for executive-type aircraft.

Effects of wing leading-edge deflection on low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a low-aspect-ratio highly swept arrow-wing configuration

Static force tests were conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel at a Reynolds number (based on the mean aerodynamic chord) of about 2.0 x 10 to the 6th power for an angle-of-attack range from about - 10 deg to 17 deg and angles of sideslip of 0 and + or - 5 deg. Limited flow visualization studies were also conducted in order to provide a qualitative assessment of leading-edge upwash characteristics.
