A summary and analysis has been made of results obtained in a systematic research program concerned with the effects of wing sweep, aspect ratio, taper ratio, and dihedral on the rolling moment due to sideslip characteristics of wing-fuselage configurations up to Mach numbers of about 0.95. Other test results are presented to show trends of rolling moment due to sideslip with Mach number for a few wings in the transonic and supersonic speed range.

The results presented in the present paper are part of a program conducted to investigate the effect of wing plan form on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch, in sideslip, and during steady roll. This paper presents the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip at high subsonic speeds of a wing-fuselage combination having a triangular wing of aspect ratio 4, a leading-edge sweep of angle of 45 degrees, and with an NACA 65A006 airfoil section parallel to the plane of symmetry.
