Flight Measurements With the Douglas D-558-II (BuAero No. 37974) Research Airplane: Static Lateral and Directional Stability Characteristics as Measured in Sideslips at Mach Numbers Up to 0.87 (open access)

Flight Measurements With the Douglas D-558-II (BuAero No. 37974) Research Airplane: Static Lateral and Directional Stability Characteristics as Measured in Sideslips at Mach Numbers Up to 0.87

Report presenting flight measurements in sideslips of the static lateral and directional stability characteristics of the Douglas D-558-II airplane. It is part of an investigation to determine the stability and control characteristics and aerodynamic loads acting on the wing and horizontal tail of an airplane from stalling speed up to a maximum Mach number of 0.90. Results regarding variations of rudder, total aileron, elevator control positions and control forces, aileron position, and aerodynamic hinge moments are provided.

Wind-tunnel investigation at low speed to determine aerodynamic properties of a jettisonable nose section with circular cross section (open access)

Wind-tunnel investigation at low speed to determine aerodynamic properties of a jettisonable nose section with circular cross section

Report presenting the aerodynamic properties of a model of a jettisonable nose section with a circular cross section as determined at low speed from an investigation in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The results indicated that the aerodynamic characteristics of the nose were greatly affected by proximity to the fuselage. Even for a stabilized nose, it may be necessary to eject the nose forward forcibly in order to prevent high accelerations along the backbone of the pilot.
