Longitudinal characteristics and aileron effectiveness of a midwing airplane from high-speed wind tunnel tests

Description: Report presenting wind-tunnel tests of a 0.175-scale model of a midwing airplane in order to determine the high-speed longitudinal characteristics, to test devices for improving longitudinal control at high Mach numbers, and to determine the aileron effectiveness at high Mach numbers. Force and moment coefficients are computed from test data. Control forces, elevator angle, and aileron angle for several flight conditions are predicted.

Measurement of Individual Aileron Hinge Moments and Aileron Control Characteristics of a P-40F Airplane

Description: "Flight measurements have been made of the individual aileron hinge moments, aileron rolling effectiveness pb/2V ,and stick-force characteristics in abrupt aileron rolls with a P-40F airplane (AAF No. 41-14119) over an indicated airspeed range from 108 to 304 miles per hour. Three methods for measuring the rate of change of hinge moment with angle of attack were investigated. Presented for comparison with the flight results are data from two-dimensional wind-tunnel tests of the wing-aileron pro… more
