Comparison of effects of ailerons and combinations of spoiler-slot-deflector arrangements on spin recovery of sweptback-wing model having mass distributed along the fuselage

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the free-spinning tunnel to determine the effect of lateral-control systems using various combinations of spoilers, slots, and deflectors as compared with ailerons on the spin-recovery characteristics of a model of a 35 degree swept-wing fighter loaded heavily along the fuselage. Testing indicated that the ailerons were favorable for recovery when they were deflected full with the spin. Results regarding the effect of ailerons and two spoiler-slot-deflector… more

Incipient spin characteristics of a 1/25-scale model of the Chance Vought XF8U-1 airplane: TED No. NACA AD 3118

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the incipient spin characteristics of a 1/25-scale dynamic model of the Chance Vought XF8U-1 airplane. The model was launched by a catapult apparatus into free flight at the angle of attack and airspeed correspond to stall with various control settings and was loaded as lightly as possible because of the limitations of the catapult apparatus. Results regarding the basic data and effects of modifications are provided.

Free-spinning-tunnel investigation of a 1/28-scale model of the North American FJ-4 airplane: TED No. NACA AD-3112

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel to determine the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of a 1/28-scale dynamic model of the North American FJ-4 airplane. Results indicated that either a flat-type or a steep-type spin maybe obtained when the airplane is spinning erect. Results regarding inverted spins, loading condition, spin-recovery rocket tests, and spin-recovery parachute tests are provided.

Spin-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/28-Scale Model of a Subsonic Attack Airplane

Description: "An investigation has been made of a 1/28-scale model of the Grumman A-6A airplane in the Langley spin tunnel. The erect spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the flight design gross weight loading and for a loading with full internal fuel and empty external wing fuel tanks. The effects of extending slats and deflecting flaps were investigated" (p. 1).

Investigation of Incipient Spin Characteristics of a 1/35-Scale Model of the Convair F-102A Airplane, Coord. No. AF-AM-79

Description: From Summary: "Incipient spin characteristics have been investigated on a 1/35-scale dynamic model of the Convair F-102A airplane. The model was launched by a catapult apparatus into free flight with various control settings, and the motions obtained were photographed. The model was ballasted for the combat loading. All tests were made with the speed brakes and landing gear retracted, and engine effects were not simulated."

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Effect of Spin-Recovery Rockets and Thrust Simulation on the Recovery Characteristics of a 1/21-Scale Model of the Chance Vought F7U-3 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 3103

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of a 1/21-scale model of the Chance Vought F7U-3 airplane in the combat-loading condition has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The recovery characteristics of the model were determined by use of spin-recovery rockets for the erect and inverted spinning condition. The rockets were so placed as to provide either a yawing or rolling moment about the model center of gravity. Also included in the investigation were tests to determine the eff… more

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 0.034-Scale Model of the Production Version of the Chance Vought F7U-3 Airplane, TED No. NACA AD 3103

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of a 0.034-scale model of the production version of the Chance Vought F7U-3 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The inverted and erect spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the combat loading with the model in the clean condition and the effect of extending slats was investigated. A brief investigation of pilot ejection was also performed."

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/24-Scale Model of the Grumman F9F-6 Airplane: TED No. NACA DE 364

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of a 1/24-scale model of the Grumman F9F-6 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the normal flight loading with the model in the clean condition. The effect of loading variations was investigated briefly. Spin-recovery parachute tests were also performed."

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/28-Scale Model of the North American FJ-4 Airplane with External Fuel Tanks, TED No. NACA AD 3112

Description: From Summary: "A supplementary investigation to determine the effect of external fuel tanks on the spin and recovery characteristics of a l/28-scale model of the North American FJ-4 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The model had been extensively tested previously (NACA Research Memorandum SL38A29) and therefore only brief tests were made to evaluate the effect of tank installation."

Comparison of model and full-scale spin recoveries obtained by use of rockets

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a 1/19-scale model of an unswept-wing trainer airplane in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel to determine the rocket spin-recovery characteristics of the model for comparison with available full-scale-airplane results. A rocket was attached to each wing tip to fire in a direction to apply an antispin yawing moment about the Z body axis. Results regarding the full-scale spin recoveries by rockets, model spin recoveries by rudder reversal, model spin recoveries… more

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/28-Scale Model of the North American FJ-4 Airplane

Description: Report on an investigation to determine the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of a model of the North American FJ-4 airplane. The testing found that either a flat-type of steep-type spin may be obtained when the airplane is spinning erect. The optimum recovery technique from inverted spins was full rudder reversal with simultaneous movement of the ailerons to full with the stick maintained full forward.
