Investigation of the direction control for the tailless aircraft configuration

Gang Liu

Abstract

In this paper are presented the major wind tunnel test results for the direction control of the tailless aircraft configuration.Some unusual control surfaces such as spoiler,clam-shell aileron,body-nose strake,movable wing-tip are investigated on two typical configurations.It is considered that the body-nose strake,clam-shell aileron and movable wing-tip are the potential control device for the tailless aircraft direction control.The data can be referred to the tailless aircraft configuration.
