Investigation of Low-speed, Power-off Stability and Control Characteristics of a Model with a 35 Degree Sweptback Wing in the Langley Free-flight Tunnel

Robert O Schade

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation in the free-flight tunnel to determine the low-speed, power-off dynamic stability and control characteristics of a model with a 35 degree sweptback wing. The investigation consisted of force and flight tests of the model and calculations of the lateral oscillatory stability with wing-tip fuel tanks off and on.
