A semi-span wing, equipped with an interchangeable tip, which was varied in planform and size was examined. Total wing aerodynamic loading was obtained from the wind tunnel scale system. The wing tip was mounted on a separate six-component strain gauge balance, which provided the aerodynamic loads on the tip. The tests were accomplished in the NASA Ames 7X10-Foot Wind Tunnel at a Mach number of 0.178. The aerodynamic load characteristics of the wing and of the tip were presented with the tip at several incidence angles relative to the wing inboard section.
