Flight measurements with the Douglas D-558-II (BuAero No. 37974) research airplane : determination of the aerodynamic center and zero-lift pitching-moment coefficient of the wing-fuselage combination by means of tail-load measurements in the Mach num (open access)

Flight measurements with the Douglas D-558-II (BuAero No. 37974) research airplane : determination of the aerodynamic center and zero-lift pitching-moment coefficient of the wing-fuselage combination by means of tail-load measurements in the Mach num

Report presenting flight measurements of aerodynamic tail loads made on the Douglas D-558-II from which the variation with Mach number of the wing-fuselage aerodynamic center, static-longitudinal-stability parameter, the tail load per g, and the zero-lift wing-fuselage pitching-moment coefficient determined up to Mach number 0.87.
