Abstract

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effect of lowering the wing from the top of the fuselage to the bottom of the fuselage on the longitudinal characteristics of a wing-fuselage and a wing-fuselage-tail combination with the horizontal tail at various heights above the plane of the wing. The effects of wing height on the longitudinal characteristics of the model were small.
