The joined wing is a new airplane and missile configuration comprising two wings, a fuselage, and a fin, such that the wings form diamond shapes both in plan view and front view. Advantages claimed for the joined wing include lightness, stiffness, low induced drag, low wave drag and high trimmed maximum lift coefficient. Comparative low-speed wind tunnel tests were performed on joined wing and conventional wing configurations having similar areas and spans. Long and short fuselages were tested, and the effect of adding canard surfaces to the joined wing was investigated. Test Reynolds numbers were typically 0.22 million. The present report (Volume II) presents the test data, which are analyzed in Volume I. (Author)
