Matrix Method of Determining the Longitudinal-stability Coefficients and Frequency Response of an Aircraft from Transient Flight Data


Book Description

A method is presented for obtaining the over-all longitudinal-stability coefficients and frequency response of an aircraft from an analysis of arbitrary maneuvers in which simple instrumentation is used. Although the method presented deals entirely with the aircraft, it is equally applicable to other problems which can be expressed by second-order differential equations.

Effect of Ice and Frost Formations on Drag of NACA 651-212 Airfoil for Various Modes of Thermal Ice Protection


Book Description

The effects of primary and runback icing and frost formations on the drag of an 8-foot-chord NACA 651-212 airfoil section were investigated over a range of angles of attack from 2 degrees to 8 degrees and airspeeds up to 260 miles per hour for icing conditions with liquid-water contents ranging from 0.25 to 1.4 grams per cubic meter and datum air temperatures of -30 to 30 degrees F.
