Longitudinal and lateral-directional characteristics of a simple biwing configuration were determined over an angle-of-attack range from -3 deg to 50 deg. The body was comprised of a cylindrical section with an ogival forebody having an overall fineness ratio of 6.67. The delta wings had a 38.3 deg sweep angle and were geometrically similar in planform. The upper wing was located slightly forward relative to the lower wing. The model was tested in upright and inverted orientations including component buildups. This investigation was conducted in the 22-inch aerodynamics leg of the Langley Hypersonic Helium Tunnel Facility.
