Forces

Alpha Sweep at M = 0.75  --  Wing/Body
Alpha Sweep at M = 0.75  --  Wing/Body/Nacelle/Pylon
Mach Sweep at CL = 0.50 --  Wing/Body
Mach Sweep at CL = 0.50 --  Wing/Body/Nacelle/Pylon

The following internal nacelle drag was measured using the ONERA S4B test bench.
The reference surface area is 0.1454 square meters, the same as the wind tunnel model. Internal
area is defined as starting at the bell-mouth connection and ends at the trailing edge. The bell-mouth
was part of the calibration fixture, and was not included on the wind tunnel model. (See sketch )

All wind tunnel data files are in TECPLOT format.

For those not familiar with this format, the first line (TITLE) describes the file contents.
The second line (VARIABLES) contains variable names for each column of data.  Data sets are separated by
a line containing the word "ZONE"
