Experimental verification of a simplified vee-tail theory and analysis of available data on complete models with vee tails (open access)

Experimental verification of a simplified vee-tail theory and analysis of available data on complete models with vee tails

An analysis has been made of available data on vee tail surfaces. Previously published theoretical studies of vee tails have been extended to include the control effectiveness and control forces in addition to the stability. Tests of two isolated tail surfaces with various amounts of dihedral provided a check of the theory. Methods for designing vee tails were also developed and are given in the present paper.
