Method of Estimating the Stick-Fixed Longitudinal Stability of Wing-Fuselage Configurations Having Unswept or Swept Wings

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.

Flight and Preflight Evaluation of an Automatic Thrust-Coefficient Control System in a Twin-Engine Ram-Jet Missile

Report presenting a flight and preflight evaluation of an automatic thrust-coefficient control system in a twin-engine ram-jet missile. A flicker-type single-loop servocontrol system is shown to be a usable way of controlling ram-jet thrust coefficients.
