Force characteristics in the submerged and planing condition of a 1/5.78-scale model of a hydro-ski-wheel combination for the Grumman JRF-5 airplane (open access)

Force characteristics in the submerged and planing condition of a 1/5.78-scale model of a hydro-ski-wheel combination for the Grumman JRF-5 airplane

From Summary: "Force characteristics determined from tank tests of a 1/5.78-scale model of a hydro-ski-wheel combination for the Grumman JRF-5 airplane are presented. The model was tested in both the submerged and planing conditions over a range of trim, speed, and load sufficiently large to represent the most probable full-size conditions."

An Investigation of the Low-Speed Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Swept-Wing Airplane Model With Two Modifications to the Wing-Root Plan Form (open access)

An Investigation of the Low-Speed Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Swept-Wing Airplane Model With Two Modifications to the Wing-Root Plan Form

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of two wing-root leading-edge plan-form modifications, including a notched leading-edge fillet and a rounded leading-edge fillet, on the low-speed longitudinal stability characteristics of an airplane model with a 50.7 degree sweptback wing. Results regarding stability at zero lift, variation of stability with lift coefficient, and lift and drag characteristics are provided.

Control characteristics at transonic speeds of a linked flap and spoiler on a tapered 45 degrees sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3 (open access)

Control characteristics at transonic speeds of a linked flap and spoiler on a tapered 45 degrees sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3

Report presenting an investigation at transonic speeds to determine the control characteristics of a linked flap and spoiler. The control consisted of a linked combination of a quarter-span inboard plug-type spoiler and a full-span flap. Results regarding the hinge-moment, pitching-moment, lift, and rolling-moment are provided.
