Note presenting a brief study of available wind-tunnel data with regard to the variation of pitching moment with sideslip. The results indicate that the effect of sideslip on pitching moment can be large and is dependent on a number of factors. Results regarding wing characteristics, wing-body characteristics, horizontal-tail characteristics, and flat fuselages are provided.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
