SUMMARY 3333'

An investigation has been conducted a t t h e Langley Unitary Plan wind tunnel t o determine t h e drag, s t a t i c longitudinal and lateral sta- b i l i t y , and longitudinal trim c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of an z i q h r c cc?yfigxa- t i o n having t a i l surfaces outboard of t h e w i n g t i p s . Data w e r e obtained 1 - a t Mach numbers of 2.30, 2.97, and 3.51 a t a Reynolds number of 2.03 x lo6.

Included i n t h e basic data are some e f f e c t s of Reynolds number, engine Y and wing t w i s t combined w i t h toe-out of t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l s . Values pack, of maximm l i f t - d r a g r a t i o a t a Mach number of 2.97 f o r t h e model with the engine pack i n s t a l l e d were about 3.85 and 5.60 f o r s t a b i l i z e r deflec- -0.10 and -&.go, respectively. These values would correspond t o t i o n s of t r i m conditions f o r low-lift s t a t i c margins of approximately 10 and 22 per- cent of t h e mean aerodynamic chord, respectively. With t h e 10 percent s t a t i c margin ( s t a b i l i z e r deflection of -0.lo), however, longitudinal i n s t a b i l i t y occurred above a l i f t coefficient of about 0.20. P o s i t i v e d i r e c t i o n a l s t a b i l i t y of t h e model was p r a c t i c a l l y invariant with angle of a t t a c k t o 12O.

I The t e s t s were conducted i n t h e high Mach number t e s t section of t h e Langley Unitary Plan wind tunnel. J This tunnel i s of t h e variable- pressure, continuous-flow type with a t e s t section 4 f e e t square and approximately 7 f e e t i n length. Mach number may be varied continuously from about 2.3 t o 4.8 by means of an asymmetric sliding-block nozzle.

Sketches of t h e model and i t s engine pack are presented i n f i g u r e 2 and the geometric c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s are given i n table I. Photographs of t h e model a r e shown i n figure 3. The cross s e c t i o n of the b a s i c fuselage w a s semicircular from t h e nose rearward f o r about 22 inches, f a i r i n g smoothly from t h i s point t o a c i r c u l a r base. Mounted beneath t h e fuse- lage and extending t o a point f l u s h with t h e model base was a detachable engine pack. (See f i g . 2 ( a ) .) This pack consisted of a two-dimensional s p l i t i n l e t ducted t o exhaust through t h r e e choked nozzles. An i n t e g r a l p a r t of t h e pack was the wedge-type boundary-layer d i v e r t e r located on t h e upper surface of the inlet-duct housing.

The trapezoidal wing had TO0 of sweep a t t h e leading edge and was mounted with its t h e o r e t i c a l root chord on t h e fuselage reference l i n e .

This surface had an aspect r a t i o of 1.0000, a t a p e r r a t i o of 0.3919, a dihedral angle of - 5 . 3 O , and NACA @ A 0 0 4 a i r f o i l sections. Two d i f f e r e n t wings were t e s t e d on the model. One w a s t w i s t e d about the 0.50-chord .

The v e r t i c a l and horizontal t a i l s had trapezoidal plan forms and were swept back 60° a t the leading edge. These surfaces were considered t o be undeflected when alined with the center l i n e s of the wing-tip bodies. All t a i l panels had an aspect r a t i o of 0.9185, t a p e r r a t i o of 0.3069, Oo of dihedral, and NACA 65A003 a i r f o i l sections.

Forces and moments f o r t h e model were measured by means of a six- component i n t e r n a l strain-gage balance. This balance was attached, by means of a s t i n g , t o the tunnel c e n t r a l support system. Included i n the model support system was a remotely operated, adjustable angle coupling which permitted tests t o be made a t various angles of a t t a c k simultane- ously with v a r i a t i o n s i n the angle o f s i d e s l i p .

TESTS T e s t s were conducted f o r a l l configurations through an angle-of- a t t a c k range of approximately -40 t o 16O a t an angle of s i d e s l i p of 0'.

L a t e r a l - s t a b i l i t y derivatives were determined from tests made through t h i s angle-of-attack range f o r angles of s i d e s l i p of about 4 ' and -bo, with and without the engine pack, a t M = 2.97. Tests t o determine sta- b i l i z e r effectiveness u t i l i z e d incidence a A l l l e s of -0.lo and -4.9'.

This test w a s conducted near zero lift 6 6 over a Reynolds number range of 0.51 x 10 t o 6.4 x 10 .

Transition was fixed on a l l configurations by means of roughness s t r i p s placed around t h e fuselage and wing-tip bodies about 2 inches behind t h e noses, and along the 10-percent-chord l i n e s (upper and lower surfaces) of t h e wing and s t a b i l i z e r s .

The s t r i p s were 1/52 inch wide and were formed by embedding N o . 60 carborundum g r a i n s i n a p l a s t i c adhesive. Two d e n s i t i e s were employed: one t e s t u t i l i z e d about l5O g r a i n s per inch of s t r i p ( r e f e r r e d t o as heavy) and a l l o t h e r configurations u t i - l i z e d about 50 g r a i n s p e r inch of s t r i p ( l i g h t ) .

SUMMARY OF RESULTS The main results of an investigation a t Mach numbers of 2.30, 2.97, and 3.51 of an outboard-tail configuration a t a Reynolds number of 6 are as foliows: 2.03 x 10

Values of maximum l i f t - d r a g r a t i o a t a Mach number of (L/D) max 2.97 f o r t h e model with t h e engine pack i n s t a l l e d were about 5.85 ..I and 5.60 f o r s t a b i l i z e r deflections of -0.lo and -4.9', respectively.

These values would correspond t o t r i m conditions f o r low-lift s t a t i c margins of approximately 10 and 22 percent of the mean aerodynamic With t h e 10 percent s t a t i c margin ( c o n t r o l deflec- chord, respectively.

t i o n of -0. lo), however, longitudinal i n s t a b i l i t y occurred above a lift coefficient of about 0.20. This i n s t a b i l i t y was due t o a s t a b i l i t y loss of t h e wing-body combination and t o an equal degree t o t h e reduction i n the s t a b i l i t y contribution of t h e t a i l surfaces. Twisting t h e wing -2.8' (and consequently deflecting t h e horizontal s t a b i l i z e r an equal amount) i n conjunction with f l . 5 ' toe-out of t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l s increased (L/D)- about 0.3 f o r the model without t h e engine pack a t a Mach number of 2.97.

An i d e n t i c a l increase i n t h i s parasleter r e s u l t e d from t h e addition of t h e horizontal t a i l s t o the configuration with twisted wing and toed-out t a i l s . I n both instances t h i s increase was due t o a decrease i n drag due t o l i f t .

The d i r e c t i o n a l s t a b i l i t y C of t h e model with engine pack was "P about 0.0015 and was p r a c t i c a l l y invariant with angle of a t t a c k t o 1 2 ' .

The values of C were reduced by a constant value of about O.OOO5 by t h e addition of t h e engine pack t o t h e model. The model with t h e engine pack had negative e f f e c t i v e dihedral f o r angles of a t t a c k less than 4.5'.
