1 Introdx&on __.-_ - --

Interest has arisen iii the highly sVept delta plani'orm on account of its possible low drag and small chs.nLe of aerodynamx centre eith speed, but due to the low lift available at la&&~ and take-off speeds vdth such a planform auxiliary lifting machinery would appear necessary. The inclusion of a meqed body of revolution in the models tested represents an attespt at provid?mg a. closer approximation to a feasible aircraft by providw sufficient body depth in the region of the centre of gravity to accommodate lifting en&nes. This note gives results of wind tunnel measurellents made at :I = 2.!~7 of normal force ;, axial force ;:, and pitch- moment Y on two highly swept delta vriw body co&mnation models, expressed for convenience as lift, drag and pit&in,: moment.

2 Ibkde IS --

The models tested were manufactured in steel from the solid, and are op'&men bodies of revolution for given lewth and AYontal orea* of 6,~ fine- ness ratio faired into delta xings of P&J 101 se&ion G/u thick rrit!l leading edges tangential to the body profile (see B&s. I and 2). Tlle models are symmetrical top and bottom and have leadink edge sweepback angles of 87' ard b-l' respectively. 'i'he intersection of the leadin:, and trailin& edges produced occurs at the same longitudinal station in both models and this determines the trailing edge suveepfom<ard angle. This leads to the plmfom

of the ilo model bei% determined by the winjs entirely but in the case of the 87o model the ‘iring is faired into t'ne body planform at a station some &$

oi the centreline chord from the nose. Thus the most forward sections of this model are ciroular and evolve into body-vii% type sections further aft. The prinoipal dimensions of these models are given in Figs. I and 2.

Flat plate type vring tip fins with cbanf'ered leadi% e%es are incorporated simulating the laterally projected area of the minim-size en,me nacelles required to provide the thrust, but considerations of late&t stability are expected to require these to be increased.

3 Gxtent of Tests ----

The tests were carried out in the $0. 6 I?" x 6", supersonic wind tunnel at ILL:. The Sach number of tile tests xas 2.47 and the stagnation pressur?s used were I a& 2.3 atmospheres giving Reynolds numbers of 2$ and 5$x IO0 respectively based on centreline chord. A three oomponent strain &auge balsnoe was used with self-balancing bridges to measure normal force, axial force and pitching moment, lrhioh were converted to lift, drag and pitching moment for presentation.

ring ammrl the b&y 1.55" aft of the nose in the case of tie 87o model, and by a 0.006" diameter vire behlnd the Ieating edge of the 81 model.

Each model was traversed in incidence by intervals of half a degree over a range pemutted by the sting deflectIon inside a fixed ~nnd shield, and at the higher stagnation press~xres thI.s range was just sufhclent to cover the CL qt for ma&m L/D. This lmitatlon was imposed in the interests of maximum sting sensitivity and rn~num~211 base correction error.

Different normal force and pitching moment sting balances were used for each model but the axial force balance used was common tn both and consequently resulted in a lower standard of accuracy for the 87' model particularly at the lower stagution pressure.

Callbratlon of the balances vrds by chaging weights to simulate normal force, varying the position to obtaxn moment changes, and weights acting over a pulley were used to pwvxde atidal force. Simultaneously, model angular deflection m inculence plane wLth load was measured by means of &Xl test indicators. A calibration correction ws applied for temperature effect which m practice 1s kept as small as possible by controllzng stagnation temperature.

4 AC curacy

In assessing the accuracy of thex tests the fnllowing sources of e-r ha-e been considered.

(1) Calxbrattlon scatter.

(2) Reading resolution of scales.

(3) Hysteresis in tenzperature calibration.

(4) Accuracy of setting incidence gear.

Experiz~tal technique ~llas arrc.zged to minimise the effects of all of these sources of errors and in fact, the test results suggest that the estlmateci accuracy given below is pessirmstic.

and mthout a tramxt~on ring around the nose. The experimental values show that slightly higher lift was cbta;Lned at the hzgher Reynolds number, but not suff~crently SO to warrant drawing two lmes through the points. The transition ring apparently hdd no effect on the lift.

The "cross-sectional aspect ratio"* of this model is smaller than for the 81' model, being a body of revolution for the first quarter cf its length, and it may be seen f'rcm Fig. 3 that the lift curve is more non- linear than that of the PI0 model. The slope of the irutial linearpart of the lift curve was measured as 0.4 to 0.45, but it extended no further than three degrees of incidence.

The measured value of the lift curve slope at both Reynolds numbers is considerably in excess of slender body theory. A subsequent measurement with fins removed has indicated that the fin-wing interaction is only partially responsible for this tigher lift.

Some unpublished results of lift measurements on an 870 model at low subsonic speeds with several sizes of tip fin are shwn in Fig. 4. The present vend tunnel test results vvlth and vnthout fins are also included together with one approximate value for a free flight version of the same model, but with larger fins, and flying at speeds between M = 1.8 and 1.1, From this figure it is seen that the initial lift curve slopes at supersonic speeds are somewhat greater than for the correspording configuration at low speeds.

The non-linearity increases mth incidence rxsing from a to the power 1.0 at 3' mcldence to a to the power 1.8 at 9o, staying constant there- after over the range tested. Estimates based on the method of Kiichemann2

upper incidence range.

5.12 Lift on 81' Node1

The lift curve for tkils model also 1s given rn Fig. 3. Pomts are shown for the two Reynolds numbers and for tests with and without transition fixed by a wire on the upper surface. The effect of these variations 1s not sufficiently large for any clear distinctions to be made; accordingly, a single curve has been drawn through all points,

9 The variation of lift appears to be linear to an incidence of 4" or

, and. to increase non-linearly from this incidence onwards. This has been observed previously for example in ref. 3. The slope of the initial licearportlon 1s approximately 0.95 per r-ad and is again considerably in excess of that predicted by slender body theory for aplanform of the same aspect mtlo tithout tip fins. The non-lmaar increment in slope is less than that predicted by K%:?~IT~ in ref 2 for a simple delta with sharp leating edges and of the same aspect ratio.

Also in Fig. 3 shown for comparason are cures based on Kiichemann's equation and the slender body slope of 0.75. It should be noted that although &hemann's snalytical cxrve disregarding tip effect appears to yield a close spproxxxtion to the measured points the zero lift curve sl?Pe, i.e. the slender body figure of 0.75, is considerably lvrer than that measured viz 0.95-1.00.

Drag curves are presented ~.n Fig. 5. The true axial-fvrce is obtazned fxm the balance axial-force measurement, together nith a tare corm&ion due to the gravitational term as incidence IS varied, and a correction of the base pressure as measured in the drag unit shroud, to the calculated free stream static pressure. The accuracy required for deducing whether there IS a fomard compcne~t of axial-force due to ixcldence, I.e. whether there is any effective lea&kg edge suction, is probably beyond the capabzlitles of the balmce until lncidcnces of some Go or 7” are reached U-J the case of the 87" model. In the case of both models however it is sufficient at rz cpt to make a useful estxmate of the pru~ort~on of effective leading edge suction raallSCd.

5.21 Zero Lift Drag

Estimates of drag due to frictux have been made for both model.s based on a strip theory of local Re,ynolds number for fully lsminar end fully turbulent flow. The asswptlon made was that the mean friction coefficient was a linear function of the percent;iLe of turbulent flow area present as deduced from boundary layer indicator tests. The estL%ates of wave drag were based on simple area rule w~~iced out for smoothed versions of b&h models, giving wave drags independent of Mach number.

5.22 Drag due to Lift

Since the balance measured axial-force it was considered preferable tl) use the uvxremental axial-force cvlth incidence as a direct way of obtaining the drag due to lift arid so deterrmne what degree of effective leading edge suction was realised. AC,, the lncrerrent in axial-force, and -Czu are plotted against -C, for the 81' model in Fi ordinates of the curves is equivalent t3 0 7

. 6. Thus the ratio of the a where t3 is the angle

betlveen the resultant force and the no-1 to ihe chord. Linear theory gives a value of 0.48 for e/a for a supple delta planform cf 81' leading edge sweepback if full leading-edge suction is developed. From Fig. 6 it appears that the ratlo e/a reaches appmximately 0.15 at -C, of 0.10 at the lower Reynolds numbers.* The theoretlcsl value of 0.48 was not to be expected In vim- of the fact that the flow separated from the upper surface at quite small incldences, as was shown by flow visualisation tests (see para 5.6), the line of separation moving towards the leading edge u+th increase of Uzi.dence.

In this instance the factor g used by Courtney5 to denote the ratlo K'

of the observed drag-due-to-lift factor to the drag-due-to-lift factor corresponding to ocmplete loss of lea&rig edge suction would be C.85.

*The value of AC was beginning to fall off at this normal-force due to the onset of distur antes at the tail of the model caused by sting % deflection, which led to a misalignment of the model base and the sting Shl?JUd. This drag rrse at the lower Reynolds number occurred at the same nod-force, corrwponding to a higher normal force coefficient. This has an insignificant effect on L/D ratio however.

Page 12: 1960naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/reports/arc/cp/0514.pdf · 5.21 Zero Lift Drag Estimates of drag due to frictux have been made for both model.s based on a strip theory of local Re,ynolds

On the 87’ model, no significant leading edge suction was in fact apparent, from measurements of axial-force xxx-went AC, over the incidence range tested. The precision of measurements was net suffiment to enable any leadmg edge suchon to be detected until an incidence of some 3’ was reached but at the CL for maxmnum I/D, VIZ 0.07 (a = 7&O) it as estimated that the theoretical lead;Lng edge suction could have been measured to ?$L accuracy.

5.3 Lift/Drag Ratio

For long range the attainment of a -high value of L/n is cf the greatest importance, and consequently, in spite of these models not having all the features (such as controls etc) which vjo~ld characterise real aircraft and their small scale, the tunnel results will be used TV give pdance on the long range efficiency of different types of layout. It 1s pmbably realistic to regard the drag fqpres obtaIned in the tunnel as mplicable also in full scale flight sxnce the fully turlxilent skin fnctinn at flQPc Reynolds number v&l be roughly equal to the partially lsminar and partially turbulent skin friction in the tunnel tests at lower Reynolds number.*

cums of 4/D ratzos are plotted In Fig. 7. The attaxment cf full leading edge suction wxld have given theoretical I-/:, max. cf approximately 7.5 for the 87' model and 8.0 for the 81o model. The values obtained e~erimentally xere 4.2 at CD of 0.07 and 5.8 at CD of 0.10 respectively the former being rather low for the l?ng range re,luzrements of this type of a1rcmf't.

5.4 Pitching Mcment and Centre of Pressure Position

The reference point about which moments are quoted is l&" from the ncse which is approxamately the quarter chord station of the mean aemdynamac chord. The reference length is the mean aerodynamic chord VU, 6.06".

Fig. 8 shows the e~pe~mental moment coefficient curve against lift coefficient. In the case of the Elo model an almost strazght line passes close to all points arm! Reynolds number effects and the effects of the transition ~nre are both very small.

The corre,apor&ng curve fcr the 87o model curves slightly in a direction of decreasing stabiiaty, i.e. fom'zti movement of aerodynamic centre, with =ncreas=ng lift.

Centre of pressure position in terms of centre-line chord length is plotted agaxz.t Incidence =n Fig:. 7. apparent for the 81' rmdel,

A slight mean forward movement is and xkile it appears that there is a $ust

discernible rearward movement of centre of pressure position due to the hlgherReyno1d.s number in the presence of transition wires, no simnlficsnt change of positxn occurs without the wires, and a mean line has been drawn through all the points.

In the case cf the 87' model the rearward mvement of the centre >f pressure vxth Reynolds number is seen to be more pronounced and again the influence of the trip vire is small. The most narxerdpos~.tion of the centre of pressure occurs at an incidence uf 3' to 4o and the fvward movement nath incidence ovxc the rage testes IS equal to sppmamateljr 12% of the centre-lme chwd.

?i'he skxn friction of the tunnel models with free transition is estimated to be equal to that of an aircraft 420 feet lwg flying dt M = 2.5 at 75,000 ft with a fully turbulent boundary layer.

5.5 .Flow Visualisation

. =

Using the eveqorating solid technique for boundary layer transition indication, it ~vas found that turbulent flow occurred. naturaily in the region of maximum thickness of the wing on the 81' model. AWiEOf 0.006" &ameter fixed just back from the leading edge on the upper surface apparently brought the transition forward towards the wire, but the coqlex nature of the air flow over the surface of a thick delta leaves considerable doubt in the precise interpretatron of the indicator pattern.

011 flowpatterns of boundary layer streamlines on both models showed 110 separations at zero incidence, but the spiral vortex flow arising Prom flow separations near the leading edge became apparent from very low angles of incidence (ref's. 6 and 7).

In Pig. 11, the upper surface oil flow patterns for the 81' model are shown at progressive incidences between 0' and 10'. The sketches of Fig. IO are included to clarify the photographs vkch become blurred on shutting down the tunnel. At the lowest incidences it appears that the air flow remains continuous around the loading edge and over the upper surface to a separation line well inboard from the leading edge. "Herring bone" sb?uctur? suggesting vortex flow appears just inside this separaticn line towards the rear of the model. With increasing incidence the separation lme appears divided; the outerportion moving towards the leading edge, the inner portion denoting the outer boundary of the "herring bone" region maintaining its spanwise position qpro~mately, while the "herring bone" pattern extends forwards. At an incidence of 50 the outerportion of the separation line has almost reached the leading edge and advances little fkrther mth incidence. The main vortexpattern tends to increase in intensity, to straighten "p manor kinks and to move inboard, so that an extensive "open bubble" region may be supposed to etist behiti the leading edge, between it and the vortex, under a vorte

$ sheet, Subsonic flow

analogous to this has been reported by Or&erg and by Fink and Taylor 9 .

6 Conclusions

The tests were restr;cted to a comparatively small incidence range ty the flexibility of the balance and mounting sting kich we designed to measure forces and moments essentially at the incidence of madmum I/D, and emplm+z was placed on maintaining the desired body profile uninterrupted by sting mounting as far as possible. This has enabled measurements to be ma3.e with greater accuracy at incidences corresponding to crnsing condi- tions appropriate to the role of aircraft under consideration.

The presence of tip fins has complicated any analysis of the lift ourve slopes, and until the tests are repeated in the absence of fins it is not possible to estimate their total effect. A preliminary test of the 87O model wthout fins at M = 2.47 shows that they are responsible for an increment of lift curve slope particularly in the very lowinwdence range. A corresponding but larger lift curve slTe increment with tip fins has been shOa?l to ocmr at low subsonic speeds vnth the 870 model.

The measured values of drag at zero lift were predicted unth fair agreement by means of a simpld3.ed estimate 3f friction derived from boundary layer transition indicator pictures together with a wave drag estimate by smple area rule.

From cures of the increment of axial force with incidence it has been estimated that some effective leading edge suction component is realised an the alo model but on the 870 model no significant suction materialised.

The value of the maxinun I/D ratio obtained for the 87' model showed the detrimental effect of the extra drag due to t,?e presence of the bonndary layer trip ring, but, as has been said, t'ne figures appropriate to the tests without the trip rink is relevarAt to full scale. The inaxvm~m value of I& for the 870 model was found to be 4.2 occurring at i CL of 0.C7; for the 81' model it was 5.6 occurring at a CL of 0.10.

Plotted against lift coefficient the pit&i= moment curves referred to the quarter chord of the mean ;ierodyJlamic chord for the Sl" model are virtually &xi@, znd the corres~o&ing forward shift of the centre of pressure w%th incxdence is about 16' ,O of the centreline chord over tne range tested (a= O" to 11~'). '?he pitchils moment curves for the 87' ~11ode1 show maximum stability at incidences between 3O and 4". The forward shfft of centre of pressure position betwen 3' and 12" incidence is about l&t of toe centreliw chord.

Thus both on the grounds of stability and efficiency as defined 1j.v the maximum L/D obtauable tlti 81' configuration appears to be superior, r;lthowh by the time allowaxes have been made for drag due to trim and other practical encumbrances of full scale au-craft the valus of L/D available may be diminished.
