Report presenting a method for predicting from basic airplane characteristics the elevator deflection required to maintain optimum landing attitude. Charts for evaluating the components of the equation for elevator deflection and a comparison of computed and measured values for 15 airplanes are included. The computed deflection is considered the minimum value required to maintain landing attitude due to variations in piloting technique.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
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.
