Effects of the Spanwise, Chordwise, and Vertical Location of an External Store on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 45 Degree Sweptback Tapered Wing of Aspect Ratio 4 at Mach Numbers of 1.41, 1.62, and 1.96An investigation has been made in the Langley 9- by 12-inch supersonic blowdown tunnel to determine the effects of external-store location on the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback wing at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.62, and 1.96. The spanwise, chordwise, and vertical location of a Douglas-Aircraft Company, Inc., store of fineness ratio 8.58 was systematically varied over the outer 60 percent of the wing semispan. A brief investigation of strut sweep angle was also made. The test Reynolds number based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord ranged from 1.3 x 10(exp 6) to 1.5 x 10(exp 6).
