Report presenting normal-force and pressure distributions for a body of revolution consisting of a fineness-ratio-3, circular-arc, ogival nose tangent to a cylindrical afterbody 7 diameters long. Comparisons of theoretical and experimental distributions indicate that available theoretical methods are only accurate for angles of attack up to about 5 degrees.

Memorandum presenting a comparison made between the incremental aerodynamic root bending moments on the horizontal tail of a jet-powered bomber airplane measured during a flight investigation over a range of Mach numbers and the bending moments calculated by using available theoretical models in conjunction with measured loads, elevator positions, and elevator and stabilizer twists. Results regarding abrupt maneuvers, gradual turn maneuvers, and effects of downwash are provided.

Report presenting an investigation in the high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the effects of a wing leading-edge modification on the effectiveness of a spoiler-slot-deflector control. The modification consisted of a chord extension over the outboard 35 percent of the semispan in combination with a full-span leading-edge flap deflected 6 degrees.

Report discussing an investigation to determine the aileron effectiveness and damping in roll of the Hughes Falcon missile, D configuration at several Mach numbers. Information about the rolling-moment coefficient, damping-in-roll derivative, and drag coefficient is provided.

Report presenting a free-flight investigation over a range of Mach numbers near zero lift to determine the aileron effectiveness and damping in roll of the full-scale Hughes Falcon missile, D configuration.
