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.

Summary of methods for calculating dynamic lateral stability and response and for estimating aerodynamic stability derivatives (open access)

Summary of methods for calculating dynamic lateral stability and response and for estimating aerodynamic stability derivatives

"A summary of methods for making dynamic lateral stability and response calculations and for estimating the aerodynamic stability derivatives required for use in these calculations is presented. The processes of performing calculations of the time histories of lateral motions, of the period and damping of these motions, and of the lateral stability boundaries are presented as a series of simple straightforward steps. Existing methods for estimating the stability derivatives are summarized and, in some cases, simple new empirical formulas are presented. Detailed estimation methods are presented for low-subsonic-speed conditions but only a brief discussion and a list of references are given for transonic and supersonic speed conditions" (p. 1).
