Use of Variable-Ratio Geared Tabs to Improve Stick-Force Characteristics in Turning Flight

Report discussing the use of variable-ratio geared tabs with an experimental elevator to improve stick-force characteristics in turning flight. The stick forces with the tabs were found to be satisfactory for a variety of center-of-gravity ranges. The ability of pilots to use the controls is also described.
