Description
Summary:The problem of chordwise, or camber, divergence at transonic and supersonic speeds is treated with primary emphasis on slender delta wings having a cantilever support at the trailing edge. Experimental and analytical results are presented for four wing models having apex half-angles of 5 deg, 10 deg, 15 deg, and 20 deg. A Mach number range from 0.8 to 7.3 is covered. The analytical results include calculations based on small-aspect-ratio theory, lifting-surface theory, and strip theory. A closed-form solution of the equilibrium equation is given, which is based on low-aspect-ratio theory but which applies only to certain stiffness distributions. Also presented is an iterative procedure for use with other aerodynamic theories and with arbitrary stiffness distribution
