Wind-Tunnel Investigation at Subsonic and Supersonic Speeds of a Model of a Tailless Fighter Airplane Employing a Low-Aspect-Ratio Swept-Back Wing-Stability and Control

Description: Memorandum presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation of the static stability and control characteristics of a model of a fighter airplane employing a low-aspect-ratio swept-back wing with trailing-edge elevons, a swept-back vertical tail, but no horizontal tail. The results indicated that, for the test conditions at which the investigation was conducted, the model, with elevons undeflected, was longitudinally and directionally stable.

Longitudinal-control effectiveness and downwash characteristics at transonic speeds of a 1/30-scale semispan model of the Bell X-5 airplane as determined by the NACA wing-flow method

Description: Report presenting an investigation at transonic speeds using the wing-flow method to determine the longitudinal-control effectiveness and downwash characteristics of a 1/30-scale semispan model of the Bell X-5 airplane with three different degrees of sweepback. Lift, drag, and pitching moment are presented for various angles of attack for several horizontal-tail settings and with the tail off for each angle of sweep tested.

Wind-tunnel investigation at subsonic and supersonic speeds of a model of a tailless fighter airplane employing a low-aspect-ratio swept-back wing : effects of external fuel tanks and rocket packets on the drag characteristics

Description: Report presenting the effect of external fuel tanks and externally mounted rocket packets on the drag characteristics of a model of a tailless fighter airplane. Lift, drag, pitching-moment, and rolling-moment coefficients and lift-drag ratios are presented in tabular form and the drag characteristics and lift-drag ratios are also presented in graphic form.
