| Description | The experimental longitudinal and lateral-directional stability characteristics of a Langley conceptual space shuttle orbiter design have been obtained for a series of inboard planform fillets in a unitary plan wind tunnel. Fillet sweep angles up to 78 deg were investigated while holding the spanwise intersection of the fillet and wing constant. The data were obtained at Mach numbers of 2.36 to 4.63 and at Reynolds numbers (depending on Mach number) of 1.5 million to 2.5 million per foot. The angle of attack was varied from about minus 2 deg to 44 deg at 0 deg and 3 deg of sideslip. |
