Flight Measurements with the Douglas D-558-II (buaero No. 37974) Research Airplane : Static Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics at Mach Numbers up to 0.87

S A Sjoberg, James R Peele, John H. Griffith

Abstract

Report presenting flight measurements using the Douglas D-558-II airplane in order to determine the longitudinal stability and control characteristics in steady and accelerated flight. Results are given for various flap positions, especially in regards to degrees of instability present.
