Summary And Analysis Of Horizontal Tail Contribution To Longitudinal Stability Of Swept Wing Airplanes At Low Speeds

Download or read book Summary and Analysis of Horizontal-tail Contribution to Longitudinal Stability of Swept-wing Airplanes at Low Speeds written by Robert H. Neely and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air-flow characteristics behind wings and wing-body combinations are described and are related to the downwash at specific tail locations for unseparated and separated flow conditions. The effects of various parameters and control devices on the air-flow characteristics and tail contribution are analyzed and demonstrated. An attempt has been made to summarize certain data in a form useful for design. The experimental data herein were obtained mostly at Reynolds numbers greater than 4 x 105 and at Mach numbers less than 0.25.
