The experimental aerodynamic characteristics of three basic wing planforms on a conceptual orbiter fuselage (designated the LO-100) have been obtained in the 8-Foot Transonic Pressure Tunnel. The study included variations in the forward portion (fillet) of each basic wing. Fillet sweeps to 78 deg were investigated while holding the spanwise intersection of the fillet and wing constant. The data were obtained at Mach numbers of 0.35 to 1.2 and at Reynolds number (depending on Mach number) of 1.9 million to 2.11 million per foot. The angle of attack was varied from about minus 2 deg to 22 deg at 0 deg of sideslip.
