Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees : effectiveness at supersonic speeds of a 30-percent chord, 50-percent semispan elevon as a lateral control device

Description: Report presenting the effectiveness of a 50-percent-semispan, constant-percent-chord elevon, and of upper-space spoilers as lateral control surfaces for a wing-fuselage combination with a wing swept back 63 degrees over a range of Mach numbers. For the elevon, results indicated that only about half of the predicted rolling-moment effectiveness was realized. The spoilers were found to be inferior to the elevons for lateral control because of a rapid loss of effectivness above an angle of attack … more
