Airplane Motions and Loads Induced by Flying Through the Flow Field Generated by an Airplane at Low Supersonic Speeds by Gareth H. Jordan Pdf
An exploratory flight investigation was conducted to determine the disturbances to an airplane while flying in formation with another airplane at low supersonic speeds. The most significant motions were encountered as a result of flying through the flow field of the lead airplane. Several of these supersonic passes were made using two swept-wing fighter-type airplanes in order to evaluate the gross effects of time to pass through the flow field, lateral distance, and altitude within a Mach number range from 1.1 to 1.3.
