Flight Investigation of the Effects of Horizontal-tail Height, Moment of Inertia, and Control Effectiveness on the Pitch-up Characteristics of a 35 Degree Swept-wing Fighter Airplane at High Subsonic Speeds

Norman M Mcfadden, Donovan R Heinle

Abstract

Report presenting a flight investigation conducted on a 35 degree swept-wing fighter airplane with two different horizontal-tail heights. The longitudinal stability and buffet characteristics were compared for the two configurations. Results regarding longitudinal stability, buffet, and pitch-up intensity are provided.
