High-speed aerodynamic characteristics of horn and overhang balances on a full-scale elevator (open access)

High-speed aerodynamic characteristics of horn and overhang balances on a full-scale elevator

Report presenting high-speed wind tunnel testing of horn- and overhang-balance elevators on a full-scale, semispan, horizontal tail. The effects of unshielding the horn and unsealing the overhang were investigated. Results regarding aerodynamic characteristics, distortions of the tail, and critical Mach numbers are provided.
