"The lateral- and directional-stability and -control characteristics of a twin-engine patrol airplane as predicted from the results of wind-tunnel tests of a powered model and as measured in flight are compared in this report. The predictions from wind-tunnel-test data were in good agreement with the flight-test results. The results show that such predicted flying-qualities characteristics are sufficiently accurate to indicate the unsatisfactory lateral- and directional-stability and -control characteristics of airplanes in the preliminary design stage" (p. 1).
