Description

  • Content Description: Report presenting some of the concepts and applications underlying the basic arrangement of airplane configurations with tail surfaces outboard of the wing tips. The arrangement was created to be consistent with good supersonic performance characteristics and to avoid some of the stability and trim-drag problems seen with other supersonic configurations. Results regarding stability and control characteristics, lift and drag characteristics, and an analytical study of effects of some design variables are provided.
