Description

  • Content Description: "The following surveys on the vibration response of the P-40 rudder and fin-rudder assembly were conducted during the fall of 1942 for the purpose of obtaining information on the flutter characteristics of high-speed airplanes of known performance. The tests on the rudder alone were made with the rudder suspended in a floating condition; the tests on the fin-rudder unit were made with the fin rigidly fastened to a concrete base" (p. 1). A variety of figures and diagrams for the assembly are provided.
