Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a Semispan Model of a Supersonic Airplane Configuration at Transonic Speeds From Tests by the NACA Wing-Flow Method

Description: Report presenting an investigation using the NACA wing-flow method to determine the longitudinal stability and control characteristics at transonic speeds of a semispan airplane model with a long slender fuselage, straight wing, and tail of low aspect ratio with faired symmetrical double-wedge airfoil sections. Measurements of the normal force and pitching moments at various angles of attack with five different stabilizer angles of incidence were recorded. The tests were carried out a range of … more

Yaw Characteristics of a 52 Degree Sweptback Wing of NACA 64(Sub 1)-112 Section With a Fuselage and With Leading-Edge and Split Flaps at Reynolds Numbers From 1.93 X 10(Exp 6) to 6.00 X 10(Exp 6)

Description: Report presenting low-speed testing in the pressure tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics in yaw of a 52 degree sweptback wing with aspect ratio 2.88 and taper ratio 0.625 with NACA 64(sub 1)-112 airfoil sections. Testing included an investigation of the effects on the lateral stability of a fuselage and leading-edge and split flaps. Results regarding the lateral stability parameters of a plain wing, effect of flaps on the lateral stability parameters, effect of scale, and airflow… more
