Characteristics of plain and balanced elevators on a typical pursuit fuselage at attitudes simulating normal-flight and spin conditions
Description:
Report presenting lift and elevator hinge-moment characteristics of a horizontal tail with various plain and balanced elevators and mounted on a typical pursuit fuselage as measured in the 7- by 10-foot wind tunnel at attitudes simulating normal-flight and spin conditions. The lift effectiveness of the elevator was practically independent of the size of the aerodynamic balance. Results regarding the fuselage alone and fuselage interference, lift characteristics of fuselage-tail combinations, li…
