Geometrical and structural properties of an Aeroelastic Research Wing (ARW-2)

Transonic steady and unsteady pressure tests were conducted on a large elastic wing known as the DAST ARW-2 wing. The wing has a supercritical airfoil, an aspect ratio of 10.3, a leading edge sweepback angle of 28.8 deg and is equipped with two inboard and one outboard trailing edge control surfaces. The geometrical and structural characteristics are presented of this elastic wing, using a combination of measured and calculated data, to permit future analyst to compare the experimental surface pressure data with theoretical predictions.
