Description

Report discussing the effect of the proximity of the ground on the stability and control characteristics of a vertically rising airplane model in the hovering condition. The dynamic behavior of the model in take-offs and landings and when it was hovering near the ground was also investigated. Force tests to determine the change in the vertical-tail yawing moments with control deflection and with angle of yaw for various heights were also conducted.
