Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of vertical location of the wing and horizontal tail on the static lateral and directional stability at various combined angles of attack and sideslip for a supersonic airplane configuration at Mach numbers of 1.41 and 2.01. The configurations investigated included a high-wing, midwing, and low-wing arrangement in combination with horizontal-tail positions varying from a location of 0.208 wing semispan below to 0.556 semispan above the body center line.
