Abstract

Results are given of a wind-tunnel investigation at a Reynolds number of 6.8 x 10(exp 6) to determine the static longitudinal stability characteristics of a 42 degree sweptback wing and fuselage combination with a sweptback horizontal tail. Included are the effects of vertical position of fuselage and tail with respect to wing for several combinations of high-lift and staff-control devices. Also included is the effect of a simulated ground.
