Determination of the Effect of Horizontal-Tail Flexibility on Longitudinal Control Characteristics
Description:
Report presenting an iteration method for determining the longitudinal control characteristics of a flexible horizontal tail. The method permits factors such as the actual spanwise variation of elasticity and the aerodynamic induction effects due to three-dimensional flow to be accounted for to any degree of accuracy needed. An analysis is also included of the effects of horizontal-tail flexibility on the tail effectiveness, the hinge-moment characteristics, and the control-force gradients in a…
