High-Speed Wind-Tunnel Tests of Semispan Horizontal Tails With Fabric-Covered and Metal-Covered Elevators for a Bomber Airplane
"This report contains the results of tests of a full-scale semispan horizontal tail plane of a bomber airplane. The effects of fabric distortion on the aerodynamic characteristics of the elevator are determined by comparing the aerodynamic characteristics of a fabric-covered elevator with those of a metal-covered elevator. In addition, the results of cutting holes in the balance seal, the effect of fixing transition, the tab effectiveness both sealed and unsealed, and the section drag of this tail plane are presented" (p. 1).
