Some Effects of Tail Height and Wing Plan Form on the Static Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Small-scale Model at High Subsonic Speeds


Book Description

The drag due to lift increases with increasing sweep through the Mach number range. Some increase in bag due to lift is evident decrease in taper ratio for wings having 300of sweep through most of the speed range.




Effects of Wing Inboard Plan-form Modifications on Lift, Drag, and Longitudinal Stability at Mach Numbers from 1.0 to 2.3 of a Rocket-propelled Free-flight Model with a 52.5 Degree Sweptback Wing of Aspect Ratio 3


Book Description

An investigation was made to determine the effects of wing inboard plan-form modifications on the lift, drag, and longitudinal characteristics of a rocket-propelled free-flight model. The model had a body of fineness ration 17.4, a modified wing with a basic plan form swept back 52.5 degrees and an aspect ratio of 3, and inline horizontal tail surfaces which were aerodynamically pulsed continuously throughout the flight.
