Observations on an aileron-flutter instability encountered on a 45 degree swept-back wing in transonic and supersonic flight (open access)

Observations on an aileron-flutter instability encountered on a 45 degree swept-back wing in transonic and supersonic flight

Report presenting a flight test of a supersonic research pilotless aircraft in which large-amplitude aileron oscillations, most likely aileron compressibility flutter, were encountered in the transonic and supersonic speed ranges. Results regarding power-on flight and coasting flight are provided.

Tests of a Horizontal-Tail Model through the Transonic Speed Range by the NACA Wing-Flow Method (open access)

Tests of a Horizontal-Tail Model through the Transonic Speed Range by the NACA Wing-Flow Method

"A 1/12-scale model of a horizontal tail of a fighter airplane was tested through the transonic speeds in the high-speed flow over an airplane wing, the surface of which served as a reflection plane for the model. Measurements of lift, elevator-hinge moment, angle of attack, and elevator angle were made in the Mach number range from 0.75 to 1.04 for elevator deflections ranging from 10 degrees to minus 10 degrees, and for angles of attack of minus 1.2 degrees, 0.4 degrees, and 3.4 degrees. The equipment used to measure the hinge moments of the model proved to be unsatisfactory, and for this reason the hinge-moment data are considered to be only qualitative" (p. 1).
