Theoretical and analog studies of the effects of nonlinear stability derivatives on the longitudinal motions of an aircraft in response to step control deflections and to the influence of proportional automatic control (open access)

Theoretical and analog studies of the effects of nonlinear stability derivatives on the longitudinal motions of an aircraft in response to step control deflections and to the influence of proportional automatic control

Through theoretical and analog results the effects of two nonlinear stability derivatives on the longitudinal motions of an aircraft have been investigated. Nonlinear functions of pitching-moment and lift coefficients with angle of attack were considered. Analog results of aircraft motions in response to step elevator deflections and to the action of the proportional control systems are presented. The occurrence of continuous hunting oscillations was predicted and demonstrated for the attitude stabilization system with proportional control for certain nonlinear pitching-moment variations and autopilot adjustments.

Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics at High Subsonic Speeds of Two Models of a Transonic Research Airplane With Wings and Horizontal Tails of Aspect Ratios 4.2 and 2 (open access)

Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics at High Subsonic Speeds of Two Models of a Transonic Research Airplane With Wings and Horizontal Tails of Aspect Ratios 4.2 and 2

Report discussing an investigation of two transonic research airplane models at a range of Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers. The main difference between the models was the aspect ratio of the horizontal tail. Results regarding the stability, control, incremental horizontal-tail characteristics, downwash, horizontal-tail load, stability factors, and a tailless configuration are provided.
