Free-Spinning Characteristics of a 1/24-Scale Model of the Grumman F11F-1 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 395 (open access)

Free-Spinning Characteristics of a 1/24-Scale Model of the Grumman F11F-1 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 395

"An investigation is being conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/24-scale model of the Grumman F11F-1 airplane to determine spin and recovery characteristics and the minimum-size parachute required to satisfactorily terminate the spin in an emergency. Results obtained to date are presented herein. Test results indicate that it may be difficult to obtain an erect or inverted spin on the airplane, but, if a spin is obtained, the spin will be very oscillatory and recovery from the developed erect spin by rudder reversal may not be possible" (p. 1).

Ditching investigation of a 1/25-scale model of a 255,000-pound transport airplane (open access)

Ditching investigation of a 1/25-scale model of a 255,000-pound transport airplane

"An investigation was made of a 1/25-scale dynamically similar model of a 255,000-pound transport airplane in order to study its behavior when ditched. The model was free-launched from the Langley tank no. 2 monorail carriage into calm water. Various landing attitudes, flap settings, speeds, and configurations were investigated" (p. 1).
