Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Tests of a 1/8-Scale Model of the Bell D-188A VTOL Airplane

Report discussing the results of an investigation to determine the low-speed power-off stability and control characteristics of a model of the Bell D-188A VTOL airplane. The static stability and control characteristics were generally satisfactory except above certain angles of attack and aileron effectiveness dropped off as the angle of attack was increased. Modifications for increasing the directional stability by altering the vertical tails are also described.
