A flight investigation and analysis of the lateral-oscillation characteristics of an airplane (open access)

A flight investigation and analysis of the lateral-oscillation characteristics of an airplane

Report presenting flight tests to determine the causes of undesirable dynamic lateral-stability characteristics of an airplane. Various rudder modifications were flight tested with the rudder free and fixed over an indicated airspeed range from approximately 200 to 450 miles per hour. Results regarding rudder-fixed characteristics and rudder-free characteristics are provided.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Horizontal Tails 2: Unswept and 35 Degree Swept-Back Plan Forms of Aspect Ratio 4.5 (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Horizontal Tails 2: Unswept and 35 Degree Swept-Back Plan Forms of Aspect Ratio 4.5

Memorandum presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of two semispan horizontal tails with unswept and 35 degree sweptback plan forms. The two models had an aspect ratio of 4.5, taper ratio of 0.5, and an NACA 64A010 airfoil section. Test results are presented with and without standard roughness applied to their leading edges and with sealed and unsealed radius-nose elevators.
