An investigation has been made to determine the effects of taper ratio, body indentation, fixed transition, and afterbody shape on the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback wing-body combination having an aspect ratio of 4. The results were obtained in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 1.15, angles of attack from 0 to 12 degrees, and Reynolds numbers varying from 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 based on the mean aerodynamic chord of the wings.
