High Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a 1/16-Scale Model of the D-558-2 Research Airplane at High Subsonic Mach Number and at a Mach Number of 1.2 (open access)

High Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a 1/16-Scale Model of the D-558-2 Research Airplane at High Subsonic Mach Number and at a Mach Number of 1.2

Report presenting the results of lift, drag, and pitching-moment measurements on a model of the Douglas D-558-2 airplane at a range of angles of attack and Mach numbers. The model was also tested with two different sets of chordwise fences in order to investigate their effects on force and moment characteristics at high speeds.
