Abstract
When the flap was neutral, the Influenoe of interference on effective dihedral was greater for the oircular-fuselage aombinatloas than for the wedge-rearfuselage oomblnations.When the flap was defleoted, the effeot of the interference on the dihedral was more favorable for the.wedge-rear-fuselage combinations than for the circular-fuselage combinations.The directional etability of the model without tail with the wedge-rear fuselage was more favorably affected by wing-:uselage Interference than the stability of those combinations with the circular fuselage, but the interference had a more favorable effeot on the effectiveness of the vertical tail of the clroular-fuselage models than on that of the wedge-rear-fuselage models.At high angles of yaw the wedge-rear fuselage alone was more stable directionally than the circular fuselage alone:.
