Pressure data have been obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 1.115 and angles of attack from 0 to 20 degrees for wing-body configurations employing a thin trapezoidal wing in combination with basic and indented bodies. The wing had 26.6 degrees sweepback of the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 2.61, a taper ratio of 0.211, and 2-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry. Results are also presented for the basic body alone. Reynolds numbers for the tests were on the order of 2,600,000, based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord.

Pressure distributions have been obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnels over a Mach number range from 0.80 to 1.125 and at a Mach number of 1.43 for a 45 degree sweptback cambered wing having a thickened root, an aspect ratio of 4.0, and a taper ratio of 0.15. Data were obtained for the wing in the presence of a basic Sears-Haack body and a body indented symmetrically for a Mach number of 1.2.

A transonic investigation of the effects of sweepback and thickness ratio on the wing loads of a wing in the presence of a body has been made in the Langley 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel. The tests covered wings with a thickness ratio of 6 percent for sweepback angles of 0, 25, and 45 degrees and a thickness ratio of 4 percent for an unswept wing.
