Flight Measurements of Horizontal-Tail Loads on the Bell X-5 Research Airplane at a Sweep Angle of 58.7 Degrees

Description: A flight investigation was made at altitudes of 40,000, 25,000 and 15,000 feet to determine the horizontal-tail loads of the Bell X-5 research airplane at a sweep angle of 58.7 deg over the lift range of the airplane for Mach numbers from 0.61 to 1.00. The horizontal-tail loads were found to be nonlinear with lift throughout the lift ranges tested at all Mach numbers except at a Mach number of 1.00. The balancing tail loads reflected the changes which occur in the wing characteristics with inc… more

A Theoretical Investigation of a Compensating Network With Application to Roll Control Systems for Automatic Interceptors

Description: Memorandum presenting a theoretical analysis of an airplane automatic control system incorporating a compensating network. The compensating network is a computing network that has characteristics that are the inverse of the airframe; consequently, airplane dynamics are eliminated from the system response. Results regarding the displacement control system, the velocity command system, and the acceleration control system are provided.

An experimental investigation at a Mach number of 2.01 of the effects of body cross-section shape on the aerodynamic characteristics of bodies and wing-body combinations

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effect of changes in body cross-section shape on the aerodynamic characteristics of bodies and wing-body combinations. A series of 13 bodies of a given length and volume but various cross-section shapes were tested at a Mach number of 2.01. The results showed that changes in drag at zero lift due to changes in body cross-section shape from the basic circular shape are small and of the same order a… more

Load distributions on wings and wing-body combinations at high angles of attack and supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting an investigation of aircraft which are required to maneuver rapidly at extreme altitudes, which involves reaching maximum loads at high angles of attack. Load information is necessary for that flight condition and for aircraft that reach their maximum loads at high speed and high dynamic pressures. Results regarding the wings and wing-body combinations are provided.

Stability and control characteristics obtained during demonstration of the Douglas X-3 research airplane

Description: Report presenting flight tests performed using the Douglas X-3 research airplane during the manufacturer's demonstration program and U.S. Air Force evaluation. Tests were performed over a range of Mach numbers and altitudes. Longitudinal, lateral, and directional stability and control data were obtained during steady and maneuvering flight and are compared with wind-tunnel and rocket-model data in this report.
