Supersonic aeroelastic instability results for a NASP-like wing modelTwo wing-alone wind-tunnel models were tested in the NASA Langley Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel facility to study the static divergence behavior of such configurations and to provide a data base for correlation with supersonic analytical predictions. One model had a four percent maximum thickness airfoil and the other had an eight-percent maximum thickness airfoil. The wing models had low aspect ratios and highly swept leading edges. Results show that decreasing airfoil thickness, moving the wing-pivot location upstream, or increasing the pitch-pivot stiffness have the beneficial effect of increasing the divergence dynamic pressures. The calculations accurately predicted the trend of experimental divergence dynamic pressure with Mach number.
