Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of an airplane configuration model with a 45 degree swept wing of aspect ratio 4.0 and a taper ratio 0.3 with a low swept horizontal tail to determine its longitudinal stability. Longitudinal aerodynamic coefficients and stability derivatives are presented as functions of Mach number over the test range. The results are compared to wind tunnel and rocket model data and generally show good agreement.
