Subsonic Aerodynamic Characteristics up to Extreme Angles of Attack of an Airplane Model Having an Unswept Wing and a High Horizontal Tail

Bruce E Tinling

Abstract

Report presenting wind-tunnel measurements of the forces and moments of a model of an airplane with pitch-up tendencies at angles of attack up to 70 degrees. The model had an unswept, low-aspect-ratio wing, a long fuselage, and a high horizontal tail. Results regarding longitudinal and lateral directional characteristics, effects of wing-tip tanks and tip-tank fins, and longitudinal characteristics of the fuselage-tail combination are provided.
