"A flight investigation of a 1/7-scale rocket-powered model of the XF10F Grumman XF10F airplane in the swept-wing configuration has been made. The purpose of this test was to determine the static longitudinal stability, damping in pitch, and longitudinal control effectiveness of the airplane with the center of gravity at 20 percent of the wing mean aerodynamic chord. Only a small amount of data was obtained from the test because, immediately after booster separation at a Mach number of 0.88, the configuration was directionally unstable and diverged in sideslip" (p. 1).

"The rocket-propelled-model technique has been applied to the investigation of low-lift buffeting. Results of preliminary tests show that severe buffeting, wing dropping, and normal-force changes occur almost simultaneously near zero lift over a Mach number range near 0.9 on unswept wings 12 percent thick. On unswept wings 7 percent thick, buffeting did not occur; however, mild wing dropping and normal-force changes were experienced" (p. 1).

Memorandum presenting a method for calculating the stick-fixed longitudinal stability of a wing-fuselage configuration at subcritical Mach numbers. The method applies to unswept- and swept-wing configurations. The stability parameters estimated by the method show reasonable agreement with the experimental values for the 23 configurations used in the comparison.

Memorandum listing NACA reports related to a variety of research topics, including instruments, research equipment, and research techniques.

From Summary: "The aeroelastic effects on wing-aileron rolling effectiveness and drag of thin flat-plate delta wings with 45 degree swept leading edge and plain constant-chord ailerons have been investigated. This investigation has been carried out over a Mach number range of 0.7 to 1.6 by means of rocket-propelled test vehicles in free flight. The results show a near-linear decrease in lateral control effectiveness with a decrease in the wing torsional stiffness. An aileron-effectiveness reversal was experienced with the more flexible delta-wing models."

Report discussing an investigation into the effects of camber and leading-edge-flap deflection on the pressure pulsations on thin rigid airfoils at a range of Mach numbers. The ideal camber or flap deflection was found to be dependent on Mach number and normal-force coefficient. The results of this testing, which used a 64A006 airfoil, was compared to previous testing using a 65A006 airfoil.
