Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of an all-movable horizontal tail on the low-speed longitudinal characteristics of a triangular-wing airplane. The model consisted of a triangular wing of aspect ratio 2, a fuselage of fineness ratio 12.5, a thin, triangular, vertical tail, and a thin, unswept, all-movable horizontal tail.
