High-speed aerodynamic characteristics of horn and overhang balances on a full-scale elevator

Description: Report presenting high-speed wind tunnel testing of horn- and overhang-balance elevators on a full-scale, semispan, horizontal tail. The effects of unshielding the horn and unsealing the overhang were investigated. Results regarding aerodynamic characteristics, distortions of the tail, and critical Mach numbers are provided.

Investigation of Horn Balances on a 45 Degree Sweptback Horizontal Tail Surface at High Subsonic Speeds

Description: A wind-tunnel investigation of horn balances on a 45 degree sweptback, semispan, horizontal tail surface was made to determine the effects of horn size and inboard-edge fairing at a Mach number of 0.30 and to determine the effects of compressibility up to a Mach number of 0.89. Presented are lift, drag, pitching-moment, and hinge-moment data and lift and hinge-moment parameters.
