Abstract

Tests Were Conducted In The NAL 1 .2m Transonic Wind Tunnel On A 1/20th-Scale Model Of LCA Stage 6 .45V35 Configuration . These Tests Were Carried Out In The Mach Number Range Of 0 .3 To 1 .8 And Over An Angle Of Attack Ranges Of -2 To 24 Deg (Subsonic And Transonic Speeds) And -2 To 12 Deg (Suopersonic Speeds) . The Reynolds Number (Based On Wing Mean Aerodynamic Chord) Varied Between 3 To 7 .4 Million Depending On The Mach Number . The Results Show That This Configuration Gives On Increase In Trimmed Lift To Drag Ratio Of 11 .5% At A Lift Coefficient Of 0 .5 And Mach No. Of 0 .7 When The L.E. Slats Are Deflected From Zero To Full Angle. The L.E. Slats Also Alleviate Pitch-Up For Mach Number Below 0.95. The Addition Of Medium Range Missile Increases Both Drag And Pitching Moment Coefficient.
