Experimental investigation at low speed of effects of fuselage cross section on static longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics of models having 0 and 45 degrees sweptback surfaces

William Letko, J. L. Williams

Abstract

Report presenting an experimental investigation at low speed to determine the effects of fuselage cross section on the static longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics of midwing airplane models with 0 and 45 degrees sweptback surfaces. The results indicated that the main effect of fuselage cross section on the longitudinal and directional stability characteristics of the modles at low angles of attack are caused by the direction contributions of the fuselage.
