| Résumé | Assessment of the performance characteristics of the proposed A.V. Roe C-105/1200 all-weather supersonic fighter aircraft -- An assessment of the performance characteristics of the proposed A.V. Roe C-105/1200 All-weather Supersonic Fighter Aircraft has been undertaken by the Aerodynamics Laboratory of the National Aeronautical Establishment upon request from the Royal Canadian Air Force. It is found that considerable differences exist between the present analysis and the A.V. Roe analysis with respect to the drag and performance characteristics of the aircraft. Contrary to the A.V. Roe design studies, and the conclusions reached by the Company on the basis of the recent subsonic and transonic wind tunnel test results, it is found that the aircraft fails to meet the R.C.A.F. specifications for minimum combat performance and combat radius of action. The differences between the two supersonic drag estimates account for the major differences in performance and extensive supersonic wind tunnel tests are probably required before these differences can be decisively resolved.
Note on supersonic bombers powered by turbo-jets -- This note examines the possibility of achieving long range with turbo-jet bombers designed to cruise at supersonic speeds. It is concluded that still air ranges up to 5000 miles from the top of the climb are possible at low supersonic speeds in view of recent aerodynamic advances. At Mach numbers between 1.5 and 2.0, however, maximum range appears to decrease to about 3000 miles. In all cases little increase in range is achieved by increasing aircraft gross weight above 300,000 to 400,000 ponds. Altitudes over the target are over 50,000 ft., and in some case 70,000ft. |
