Effect of an Unswept Wing on the Contribution of Unswept-tail Configuration to the Low-speed Static and Rolling-stability Derivatives of a Midwing Airplane Model

William Letko, Donald R. Riley

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation conducted in the stability tunnel to determine the effect of an unswept wing on the contribution of unswept-tail configurations to the low-speed-static- and rolling-stability derivatives of a midwing airplane model. The results show that there tend to be only small differences in the tail contributions to the static-lateral-stability derivatives for configurations with the wing on and wing off.
