Abstract
Investigations were performed on an 81°/45° sweep double-delta wing at a freestream velocity of 20 m/s. Experiments consisted of the measurement of forces, static pressures, and surface flow visualizations. Effect of the leading edge shapes of the double-delta wing was studied. Results indicated a strong influence of the leading edge shape on the aerodynamic performance of the body. The increase in the bluntness of the leading edge augments the suction pressure and delays the vortex lift phenomena at higher angles of attack, which in turn enhances the lift over the wing. A reasonable agreement between the experiments and computations were observed.
