Description:
Introduction
The investigation involves, briefly, the mounting of a wing
of 45' sweep-back in a dorsal position on the fuselage of
'Lancaster' P.A.474 such that wing incidence will be variable
in flight over a 20 range, i.e. ± 100.
A ‘partial chord’ technique for swept wings has been
established by the College using a similar wing mounting
configuration on an Avro 'Anson' Aircraft and this technique has
been applied to the current investigation.
