TRACKED AIR CUSHION RESEARCH VEHICLE SUBSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT TEST REPORT, AERODYNAMIC

A 1/10 scale model of the Grumman Tracked Air Cushion Research Vehicle (TACRV) was tested in the Grumman Low Speed Wind Tunnel for purposes of obtaining aerodynamic force and moment data on the total vehicle and individually on the body and chassis, and to obtain additional insight into the flow simulation requirements for high-speed tracked air cushion vehicles. This report presents the results of the tests. (Author)
