Longitudinal Frequency-Response Characteristics of the Douglas D-558-I Airplane as Determined From Experimental Transient-Response Histories to Mach Number of 0.90

Description: Report presenting information regarding transient oscillations observed in response to elevator pulses of the Douglas D-558-I airplane at a range of Mach numbers and altitudes. An application of the Fourier transform was used to obtain the frequency-response characteristics. The effects of lift coefficient on the frequency response are also included.

Tests in the Ames 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel of an airplane configuration with an aspect ratio 2 triangular wing and an all-movable horizontal tail : lateral characteristics

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the low-speed lateral characteristics of a triangular-wing airplane model. The model consisted of an aspect ratio 2 triangular wing in combination with a fuselage of fineness ratio 12.5, a thin, triangular, vertical tail with a constant-chord rudder, and a thin, unswept, all-movable horizontal tail.
