Description

  • Content Description: Memorandum presenting the Bell X-5 research airplane tested at 58.7 degrees sweepback during the program to determine the characteristics of a variable-sweep fighter airplane at transonic speeds. This paper includes the stability and control characteristics in the stable lift range up to Mach numbers near 1.0 at an altitude of 40,000 feet and to slightly lower Mach numbers at altitudes of 25,000 feet and 15,000 feet. Results regarding general comments, static stability and control characteristics, and longitudinal dynamic stability are provided.
