Aerodynamic characteristics of a distinct wing-body configuration at Mach 6: Experiment, theory, and the hypersonic isolation principle [PDF]

open access: yes
An experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the effect of wing leading edge sweep and wing translation on the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing body configuration at a free stream Mach number of about 6 and Reynolds number (based on

Hypersonic aerodynamic characteristics of an all-body research aircraft configuration [PDF]

open access: yes
An experimental investigation was conducted at Mach 6 to determine the hypersonic aerodynamic characteristics of an all-body, delta-planform, hypersonic research aircraft (HYFAC configuration).

Calibration of transonic and supersonic wind tunnels [PDF]

open access: yes
State-of-the art instrumentation and procedures for calibrating transonic (0.6 less than M less than 1.4) and supersonic (M less than or equal to 3.5) wind tunnels were reviewed and evaluated. Major emphasis was given to transonic tunnels.

Effect of modifications of aerodynamic characteristics of a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle at Mach 5.9 [PDF]

open access: yes
Hypersonic stability, control, and performance characteristics were determined on a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle based on control-configured stability concepts. The configuration (0.006-scale model) had a large body with a small 50 deg swept wing.

Supersonic Blowdown Wind Tunnel Control Using LabVIEW

46th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2008
A computer-based, proportional-integral control system for supersonic blowdown wind tunnels was developed in a LabVIEW environment. The control algorithm is based on numerically integrating the differential equations used to model a supersonic blowdown wind tunnel in which the proportional and integral control terms were added and tuned in a simulation

Pressure-Sensitive Paint Measurements in a Blowdown Wind Tunnel

Journal of Aircraft, 2005
A methodology to correct for temperature effects on pressure-sensitive paint data in a blowdown wind tunnel has been suggested. PSP measurements using Optrod-B1 paint were made on an aircraft model instrumented with thermocouples and conventional pressure taps.

Transonic Flow Quality Improvements in a Blowdown Wind Tunnel

Journal of Aircraft, 1973
The development and evaluation of a new type of flow conditioning system between the control valve and stilling chamber of the Vought Systems Division 4 X 4-ft transonic-supersonic wind tunnel are reported. The new system results in a series of normal shocks created by four perforated plates to dissipate total pressure differences between the reservoir
