A semiempirical procedure for estimating wing buffet loads in the transonic region

Report presenting wing buffeting data obtained from a flight loads investigation of two jet-propelled swept-wing airplanes to study the effects of Mach number and reduced frequency on the wing buffet loads. Consistent trends were noted between the flight testing and wind-tunnel testing that the results of this particular test were compared with. Results regarding variation with penetration and dynamic pressure, variation with Mach number and reduced frequency, and estimation of wing buffet loads are provided.
