U-2 or U-2R wing data
zlakarma
dihedral, and any data of U-2 wing ?
Google-negative:-(
dump...@hotmail.com
According to:
http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/recon/u2/
AIRFOIL SECTIONS:
Wing Root: NACA 64A409
Wing Tip: NACA 64A406
That's all I could find. Hope that helps.

Please... tell me which of this pages contain aerodynamical data which
I need: wing sweep, dihedral, twist -in fact is... NONE. Please -try
read with understand...

Actually, if you're willing to take a protractor and ruler to that
diagram, it gives you much of your information. Check out the 3-view
for sweep, taper, and dihedral. You know the wing area and total span
- a few seconds with a ruler and a calculator should allow you to
subtract out the fuse area and compute chord.
If that isn't enough, what are you using the data for that requires
greater accuracy?

Did you notice drawings on these sites? Taking wing span as a measure
you know root and tip chord. Area is given. Airfoils are given (look
into Abbott's et al. 'Theory of Wing Sections' or find NACA Report).
Sweep and dihedral can be read directly from the drawing. Geometrical
twist is the only unknown parameter.

There are no 3 view drawings on these sites... Only photos...
But ok, I`ll try to find very accurate drawings by net, and to compute
data.
cheers!

Here's a site that has a 3-view - I was looking at it when responding,
and thought it was on the list of links:

note, that designation "U-2C" below this drawing is wrong, this is
U-2R or U-2S -completely revised and biggest model than earlier U-2C. I
hope that drawings on net are good, but I`ll try to find official
Lockheed drawings.

I noticed that the drawing was mis-labelled - hope you find something
that meets your needs. My guess is that the drawing was a reasonably
accurate representation of a U-2R/S.
What are you using the drawing for that requires such fidelity?

ALTHOUGH - The drawing is labelled "TR-1/U-2C". Of course, this is
inaccurate - the TR-1s were relabelled U-2R, as they were identical to
the original U-2R. I'd take it, though, that the drawing is probably
a reasonably accurate U-2R drawing.
Short of that, though, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find more
accurate information, unless LMCO displays an uncharacteristic degree
of openness.

BTW, here's some airfoil info from the U. of Illionis Aero Dep't. If
this doesn't give you what you need, I doubt your requirements could
be satisfied outside of LMCO sending you original blueprints.

Sorry - didn't notice this had already been posted until after I had
