Stability and Control Force Tests of Four- and Six-Unit Wing Designs of Low Aspect Ratio and 20 Degree Triangular Plan Form (open access)

Stability and Control Force Tests of Four- and Six-Unit Wing Designs of Low Aspect Ratio and 20 Degree Triangular Plan Form

Report presenting an investigation to obtain force-test data on a wing design suitable for high-speed guided missiles, especially data on rolling moments produced in yawed and pitched attitudes. Force tests were conducted on two models of a wing design of low aspect ratio and 20 degree triangular plan form. Results regarding the application of results, four-unit wing design, and six-unit wing design are provided.
