Download or read book Static Stability and Control of Canard Configurations at Mach Numbers from 0.70 to 2.22 - Longitudinal Characteristics of a Triangular Wing and Unswept Canard written by Victor L. Peterson and published by . This book was released on 1958 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of an investigation of the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of a canard airplane configuration are presented without analysis for the Mach number range from 0.70 to 2.22. The configuration consisted of an aspect ratio vertical tail, and a Sears-Haack body. The hinge line of the canard was in the extended chord plane of the wing, 1.15 wing mean aerodynamic chords ahead of the reference center of moments. The ratio of the area of the exposed canard panels to the total area of the wing is 8.1 percent. Data are presented for various combinations of the canard, wing, and vertical tail for an angle-of-attack range from -6 to 18 degrees. The canard deflection angles ranged from 0 to 20 degrees.
