Lateral-Stability Flight Test of a 0.125-Scale Rocket-Propelled Model of the Mcdonnell F-101A Airplane at Mach Numbers from 1.0 to 1.9

James A. Hollinger, Lucille C. Coltrane

Abstract

A rocket-propelled model of the McDonnell F-101A airplane was tested in free flight for its lateral stability characteristics. The 0.125-scale model was equipped with six pulse rockets to produce the lateral disturbances. The center of gravity was located at 17.3 percent of the mean aerodynamic chord. The method of analysis was based on lateral-force and moment vector diagrams which trigonometrically solved for the resultants (p. 1).
