Investigation of the Longitudinal Stability at High Speeds of a 1/5-Scale Model of a Tailless Pursuit Airplane
Description:
"Tests of a tailless pursuit airplane model at the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory have shown that in conditions corresponding to level flight at a Mach number less than 0.7 and at an altitude under 35,000 feet, no serious compressibility effects occurred and that no sudden adverse diving moments were encountered up to a Mach number of 0.74, the maximum speed of the tests. However, there were indications that the elevons might lose their effectiveness for longitudinal control during a pull-out fro…
