An investigation at high subsonic speeds of the effects of horizontal-tail height on the aerodynamic and loading characteristics in sideslip on a 45 degree sweptback, untapered tail assembly as determined from force tests and integrated vertical-tail span loadings

Report presenting an investigation in the high-speed tunnel of the effects at high subsonic speeds of horizontal-tail height on the aerodynamic and loading characteristics in sideslip of a 45 degree sweptback, untapered tail assembly. Configurations investigated include the fuselage alone, the fuselage plus vertical tail, and with a horizontal tail mounted at 0, 50, and 100 percent vertical-tail span. Results regarding the lateral force coefficient, rolling-moment coefficient, and a comparison of experimental and theoretical results are provided.
