An aerodynamic investigation has been conducted in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the effects of taper-in-thickness on the aerodynamics characteristics of wings having 35 and 45 degrees of sweep-back, aspect ratio 6, and taper ratio 0.60. The wings were tapered from NACA 65A009 airfoil sections at the root chord to NACA 65A003 airfoil sections at the tip chord. The test Mach number range was from 0.60 to 1.14 at a Reynolds number of the order of 500,000.
