Free flight test of tailless missile configuration with 45-deg sweptback wing of aspect ratio 4 - stability at transonic speeds. The longitudinal flexible-wing results indicated a gradual transonic trim change a lift-curve slope comparable with that for the same configuration with a wing of aspect ratio 5.5. Results regarding trim characteristics, lift and longitudinal stability, and side-force and lateral stability are provided.

Memorandum presenting an investigation of a semispan-wing-fuselage model with an 80 degree swept pointed wing with either an unbalanced constant-chord control or an overhang-balanced swept hinge-line control in the 9- by 12-inch blowdown tunnel. Control hinge moments and effectiveness characteristics were obtained over an angle-of-attack range of plus or minus 16 degrees at control deflections up to 25 degrees. Results regarding control effectiveness, control hinge moments, control drag, and evaluation of control characteristics are provided.

Memorandum presenting a flight test of a long-range missile configuration with a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 4 conducted at a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. The longitudinal flexible-wing results indicated a gradual transonic trim change and a lift-curve slope comparable with that for the same configuration with a wing of aspect ratio 5.5.
