Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Horizontal Tails 2: Unswept and 35 Degree Swept-Back Plan Forms of Aspect Ratio 4.5

Description: Memorandum presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of two semispan horizontal tails with unswept and 35 degree sweptback plan forms. The two models had an aspect ratio of 4.5, taper ratio of 0.5, and an NACA 64A010 airfoil section. Test results are presented with and without standard roughness applied to their leading edges and with sealed and unsealed radius-nose elevators.
