A theoretical lateral-stability analysis of XC-120 airplane

Leonard Sternfield, Ordway B Gates

Abstract

A theoretical lateral-stability analysis of the XC-120 airplane, equipped with a detachable fuselage, was made to determine the effect on the lateral stability of the high angle of wing incidence for which the airplane was designed. The results of the investigation indicated that the lateral stability of the airplane is satisfactory with or without the detachable fuselage installed (p. 1).
