A study of the effects of radii of gyration and altitude on aileron effectiveness at high speed

From Introduction: variation in necessary aileron control and in time required to bank to 45 degrees and 90 degrees with and radii of gyration for a typical fighter or a pursuit airplane have been computed and are presented herein. The lateral motions and impact pressure for several conditions of flight are provided. The report concludes that the aileron system...should be designed for rolling-moment requirements at high and hinge-moment limitations at low altitude (from Results and Discussion).
