Investigation of a 1/4-Scale Model of the Republic F-105 Airplane in the Langley 19-Foot Pressure Tunnel. Influence of Trailing-Edge Flap Span and Deflection on the Longitudinal Characteristics
This is a 1954 NASA research memorandum, issued by the agency's Technical Reports Server, that reports wind-tunnel tests on a quarter-scale model of the Republic F-105 jet fighter at the Langley 19-foot pressure tunnel. Its pictures show the model's wing-root air inlets in close-up photographs, a three-view engineering drawing, the model mounted on support struts inside the tunnel, and a line graph of lift and drag coefficients. A designer might take from them the clean, technical look of mid-century aerospace documentation: flat white model surfaces against dark backgrounds, fine grid-paper graphs, and sparse line drawings.
