Longitudinal Characteristics at Transonic and Supersonic Speeds of a Rocket-propelled Airplane Model Having a 60 Degree Delta Wing and Low Swept Horizontal Tail
This is a 1955 NASA technical report, issued by the agency's Technical Reports Server, presenting wind-tunnel and rocket-test data on a scale airplane model with a 60 degree delta wing and low swept horizontal tail at transonic and supersonic speeds. The pictures are engineering plots: line graphs of pitching moment, lift and drag against Mach number, angle of attack and control deflection, with data points and fitted curves in black ink on squared grid paper, offering a designer a sparse, precise graphic vocabulary of grids, curves and labelled axes.
