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, lift effectiveness of the tab, elevator hinge moments, parameters, effect of yaw on elevator hinge moments, effect of tab on elevator hinge moments, drag, and comparison with two-dimensional data are provided.

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).
