Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of horizontal-tail location and plan form on the longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a fuselage and thin delta wing with extended double slotted flaps. Several configurations of the aircraft, including flaps with the tail off, extended double slotted flaps, and canard with extended double slotted flap and delta tail are explored.
