A Low Speed Wind Tunnel Investigation of Reynolds Number Effects on a 60-Deg Swept Wing Configuration with Leading and Trailing Edge Flaps

By National Aeronautics and Space Administration

A low-speed wind tunnel test was performed to investigate Reynolds number effects on the aerodynamic characteristics of a supersonic cruise wing concept model with a 60-deg swept wing incorporating leading-edge and trailing-edge flap deflections. The Reynolds number ranged from 0.3 to 1.6 x 10 to the 6th, and corresponding Mach numbers from .05 to 0.3. The objective was to define a threshold Reynolds number above which the flap aerodynamics basically remained unchanged, and also to generate a data base useful for validating theoretical predictions for the Reynolds number effects on flap performance. This report documents the test procedures used and the basic data acquired in the investigation. Rao, Dhanvada M. and Hoffler, Keith D. Unspecified Center...
