An Investigation of a Supersonic Aircraft Configuration Having a Tapered Wing With Circular-Arc Sections and 40 Degree Sweepback: Static Lateral Control Characteristics at Mach Numbers of 1.40 and 1.59

Ross B Robinson

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the static lateral control characteristics of a supersonic aircraft configuration at Mach numbers of 1.40 and 1.59. The aileron effectiveness was about half of what was predicted by calculations, which was mainly due to flow separation in the region of the aileron. Information about other aileron characteristics and characteristics in sideslip is provided.
