Measurements of the pressure distribution on the horizontal-tail surface of a typical propeller-driven pursuit airplane in flight I: effects of compressibility in steady straight and accelerated flight

Melvin Sadoff, William N. Turner, Lawrence A Clousing

Abstract

Report presenting pressure-distribution measurements made in steady straight and accelerated flight over a horizontal tail surface of a typical pursuit airplane. Results regarding the variation of horizontal-tail loads with Mach number, variation of root bending moments and fuselage torsional moments with Mach number, and variation of section loads with Mach number are provided.
