Aerodynamic load distribution over a 45 degree swept wing having a spoiler-slot-deflector aileron and other spoiler ailerons for Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.03

Description: Report discussing an investigation of a 45 degree swept-back-wing-body combination with flap spoiler ailerons, deflector ailerons, and a spoiler-slot-deflector aileron. The pressures were measured from Mach numbers 0.60 to 1.03 and at various angles of attack.

Flight Investigation of the Transonic Longitudinal and Lateral Handling Qualities of the Douglas X-3 Research Airplane

Description: Memorandum presenting a flight investigation to determine the longitudinal and lateral handling qualities of the Douglas X-3 research airplane in the clean configuration. Static and dynamic stability and control characteristics were determined during trimmed and maneuvering flight at an average altitude of 30,000 feet and over a Mach number range from 0.7 to 1.16.

Investigation at High Subsonic Speeds of the Use of Low Auxiliary Tail Surfaces Having Dihedral to Improve the Longitudinal and Directional Stability of a T-Tail Model at High Lift

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the use of low auxiliary horizontal-tail surfaces to alleviate the pitch-up tendency at high lift of an airplane configuration with a T-tail. The basic model had a wing with an aspect ratio of 3, a taper ratio of 0.143, and an unswept 80-percent chord line.

Normal-force and hinge-moment characteristics at transonic speeds of flap-type ailerons at three spanwise locations on a 4-percent-thick sweptback-wing-body model and pressure distribution measurements on an inboard aileron

Description: Report presenting an investigation conducted at the 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine the loading characteristics of flap-type ailerons located at inboard, midspan, and outboard positions on a 45 degree sweptback-wing-body combination. Results indicated that the loading over the ailerons was established by the wing-flow characteristics and the loading shapes were irregular in the transonic speed range.
