Abstract
Report presenting an investigation in the 19-foot pressure tunnel to determine the effects of a fuselage and a horizontal tail located at various vertical positions on the low-speed longitudinal characteristics of a circular-arc 52 degree sweptback wing. Results regarding the effect of fuselage on longitudinal characteristics of the wing, effect of tail position on stability and tail effectiveness, and air-flow characteristics are provided.
