Free-Spinning Tunnel Investigation of a 1/20-Scale Model of the McDonnell F2H-3 Airplane

Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/20-scale model of the McDonnell F2H-3 airplane. The effects of control settings and movement on the erect spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the take-off condition and for the condition with full wing-tip fuel tanks installed.

Supplementary Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/30-Scale Model of the Grumman XF10F-1 Airplane in the Swept-Wing Configuration with Slats Extended

"A supplementary investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel of a 1/30 -scale model of the Grumman XF10F-1 airplane to determine what effect full-span slats would have on the spin-recovery characteristics of the swept-wing version of the XF10F-1 airplane, which had previously been indicated as possessing undesirable spin-recovery characteristics without slats. The effects of extended nose-wheel doors and of fairing the air-duct inlets were also determined" (p. 1).
