Damping in Pitch of Low-Aspect-Ratio Wings at Subsonic and Supersonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting the application of the concept of indicial functions to the analysis of the aerodynamic phenomena associated with the short-period pitching mode of wings in subsonic and supersonic flight. Simple physical relationships are pointed out and are used to study the effect on the rotary-damping-moment coefficient of changes in center-of-gravity position, Mach number, aspect ratio, plan form, frequency, and thickness.

Effects of Span and Spanwise and Chordwise Location on the Control Effectiveness of Spoilers on a 50 Degree Sweptback Wing at Mach Numbers of 1.41 and 1.96

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation in the supersonic blowdown tunnel to determine the effects of span and spanwise and chordwise location on the control characteristics of spoilers on a 6-percent-thick, 50 degrees sweptback wing of aspect ratio 2.5 and taper ratio of 0.625. The results of the investigation indicate that the inboard spoilers located at the rearward chordwise station produce the highest rolling-moment effectiveness.
