Effects of Twist and Camber, Fences, and Horizontal-tail Height on the Low-speed Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Wing-fuselage Combination with a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing of Aspect Ratio 8 at a Reynolds Number of 4.0 x 10(exp 6)

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of the separate and combined effects of twist and camber, fences, and horizontal-tail height on the static longitudinal stability of a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination of aspect ratio 8 at Mach number 0.19. Two different wings were investigated, one untwisted and one with twist and cambered. Results regarding wing-fuselage configuration and wing-fuselage configurations with horizontal tail are provided.
