Abstract

Report presenting power-off tests made in the 6- by 6-foot test section of the stability tunnel to determine the variation of the static lateral stability characteristics with vertical-tail area, fuselage length, and wing dihedral. The results are presented as curves showing the variation of the static-lateral-stability slopes with angle of attack, and the rolling-moment, yawing-moment, and lateral-force coefficients with angle of yaw.
