Stall Characteristics Obtained from Flight 10 of Northrop X-4 No. 2 Airplane (USAF No. 46-677)

Description: NACA instrumentation has been installed in the X-4 airplanes to obtain stability and control data during the acceptance tests conducted by the Northrop Aircraft Corporation. This report presents data obtained on the stalling characteristics of the airplane in the clean and gear- down configurations. The center of gravity was located at approximately 18 percent of the mean aerodynamic chord during the tests. The results indicated that the airplane was not completely stalled when stall was gradua… more

Flight experience with a delta-wing airplane having violent lateral-longitudinal coupling in aileron rolls

Description: From Summary: "During a flight investigation of the lateral stability characteristics of a high-speed delta-wing airplane, violent cross-coupled lateral and longitudinal motions were encountered. The maneuver which produced these motions was an abrupt, rudder-fixed aileron roll performed at a Mach number of 0.75 at about 40,000 feet. The motions were characterized by extreme variations in angle of attack and angle of sideslip which caused the airplane to exceed the normal and transverse acceler… more

Lateral stability and control characteristics of the Convair XF-92A delta-wing airplane as measured in flight

Description: Report presenting the lateral stability and control characteristics were investigated on the Convair XF-92A delta-wing airplane during the flights of the NACA research program. The investigation included sideslips, aileron rolls, and rudder pulses at a range of altitudes and indicated speeds. The lateral handling characteristics appear satisfactory when viewed in terms of gradually increasing sideslips, lateral control effectiveness, and period, and damping.

Flight evaluation of the lateral stability and control characteristics of the Convair YF-102 airplane

Description: Report presenting the lateral stability and control characteristics of the Convair YF-102 airplane during flights for the NACA research program. The investigation included gradually increasing sideslips, rudder-fixed aileron rolls, rudder pulses, and trim runs at two different altitudes over the test Mach number range. The lateral handling characteristics appeared satisfactory when viewed in terms of gradually increasing sideslips.
