Some Notes on the Violent Lateral-Longitudinal Coupling Motions of the Douglas X-3 Airplane in Aileron Rolls

Description: Report presenting a study of the potentially large violent coupled motions encountered by the Douglas X-3 in flight. Testing indicated that the motions encountered appeared to be caused by the inclination of the principal axis below the flight path at the onset of rolling maneuvers and the existence of pitching moment due to side slip combined with a trim change near Mach number 1. Results regarding the effect of principal-axis inclination, effect of changes in directional stability, effect of … more
