Pressure distributions on a thin conical cambered low-aspect-ratio delta wing have been obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel over a Mach number range from 0.60 to 1.12 and at a Mach number of 1.43. Data were obtained for the wing in combination with a basic Sears-Haack body and a body indented symmetrically for a Mach number of 1.2. The angle-of-attack range was from -4 to 20 degrees in most instances.

An investigation was conducted in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a thin 60 degree delta wing with two leading-edge modifications (conical leading-edge camber and leading-edge droop) in combination with bodies with and without body indentation in accordance with the transonic-area-rule concept. The tests covered a Mach number range from 060 to 1.15 and an angle-of-attack range from -4 to 20 degrees at a Reynolds number of about 3,000,000 based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord. The wing had an aspect ratio of 2.31, a taper ratio of 0, and, without modifications, had NACA 65A003 airfoil sections parallel to the model plane of symmetry.
