Supersonic Area Rule and Application to Design of Wing-body Combination with High Lift-drag Ratios [with List of References]
A Supersonic Area Rule and an Application to the Design of a Wing-body Combination with High Lift-drag Ratios

ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Summary: As an extension of the transonic area rule, a concept for interrelating the wave drags of wing-body combinations at moderate supersonic speeds with axial developments of cross-sectional area has been derived. The wave drag of a combination at a given supersonic speed is related to a number of developments of cross-sectional areas as intersected by Mach planes. On the basis of this concept and other design procedures, a structurally feasible, swept-wing--indented-body combination has been designed to have relatively high maximum lift-drag ratios over a range of transonic and moderate supersonic Mach numbers. The wing of the combination has been designed to have reduced drag associated with lift and, when used with an indented body, to have low zero-lift wave drag. Experimental results have been obtained for this configuration at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 2.01. Maximum lift-drag ratios of approximately 14 and 9 were measured at Mach numbers of 1.15 and 1.41, respectively.

Aircraft Configurations Developing High Lift-drag Ratios at High Supersonic Speeds
Author: A. J. Eggers (Jr.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Summary: The problem of designing an aircraft which will develop high lift-drag ratios in flight at high supersonic speeds is attacked using the elementary principle that the components of the aircraft should be individually and collectively arranged to impart the maximum downward and the minimum forward momentum to the surrounding air. This principle in conjunction with other practical considerations of hypersonic flight leads to the study of configurations for which the body is situated entirely below the wing; that is, flat-top wing-body combinations. Theory indicates that sensibly complete aircraft of this type can be designed to develop lift-drag ratios well in excess of 6.
