A test program conducted in the LaRC 8-foot Transonic Pressure Tunnel on a blended chine/delta wing model to verify the concept of controlled vortex decoupling via inboard leading-edge flaps for improved high-alpha lateral/directional characteristics is discussed. This test extended the Mach number range of a data base previously generated in a LaRC 7 ft. by 10 ft High Speed Tunnel investigation. Six-component force/moment, forebody surface pressures, and central and twin tall static and dynamic loads were measured at Mach numbers of 0.4 to 1.2; laser light-sheet visualizations were also performed. Selected data are analyzed and discussed, emphasizing lateral/directional improvements and tail environment enhanced attainable by leading-edge flaps in the maximum lift region.
