Details of the test program, an outline of the test procedure, and results of the investigation in tabular form are presented. The base drag reduction potential was determined at cruise conditions (M = .40) of a modified base region, with and without base bleed flow. Transonic effects and cruise control effectiveness of the new base region were also obtained. The tests were performed at Mach numbers from 0.40 to 1.10, at angles of attack from -4 to +20 degrees and at angles of sideslip from -6 to +6 degrees, all at a Reynolds number of 6.56 million per meter (2.0 million per foot).
