Abstract

Experimental aerodynamic data are presented for a wind tunnel model of a low-boom aircraft concept conducted in the NASA Glenn Research Center 8- by 6-foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel. This aircraft concept, originally designed for experimental investigations of off-body acoustics, was modified to characterize aerodynamic performance and stability parameters across a wide range of Mach numbers. Data has been obtained at chord Reynolds numbers of 1.2 to 3.9×106 and Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.56 for the configuration. Force and moment, surface pressure, and surface visualization data were obtained but the focus of this paper will be to describe the force and moment data only.
