This book was released on 1956 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocket-powered models have been flown to provide an experimental comparison with linearized theoretical calculations for zero-lift drag of sweptback tapered wings having thin, symmetrical, double-wedge airfoil sections. The range of the experimental data is from a Mach number M of 1.0 to 1.8, and theoretical comparisons are made for the test range above M = 1.2.
