Abstract

Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic tunnel to determine the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a supersonic aircraft configuration at a Mach number of 1.59. The model had a 40 degree sweptback tapered wing with 10-percent-thick circular-arc sections normal to the quarter-chord line.
