Effects of horizontal-tail position and aspect ratio on low-speed static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a 60 degree triangular-wing model having twin triangular all-movable tails

Report presenting a low-speed investigation in the stability tunnel to determine the effects of tail height, length, and aspect ratio on the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a 60 degree triangular-wing model with twin triangular all-movable tails located near the wing tips.

Time-History Data of Maneuvers Performed by an F-86A Airplane During Squadron Operational Training

"Preliminary results of one phase of a control-motion study program are presented in the form of plots of load factor.and angular acceleration against indicated airspeed and of time histories of several measured quantities. The results were obtained from 197 maneuvers performed by an F-86A jet-fighter airplane during normal squadron operational training. Most of the tactical maneuvers of which the F-86A is capable were performed at pressure altitudes ranging from 0 to 32,000 feet and at indicated airspeeds ranging from 95 to 650 miles per hour" (p. 1).
