Report presenting the results of an investigation to determine the dynamic stability and control characteristics of a delta-wing vertically rising airplane model powered by a ducted fan. The model had flap-type control surfaces on the wings and vertical tail as well as movable eyelids at the rear of the tail pipe and air bled from the main duct and exhausted through movable nozzles near the wing tips. The model was found to generally fly smoothly and easily without automatic stabilization devices.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
