Effect of fuselage and tail surfaces on low-speed yawing characteristics of a swept-wing model as determined in curved-flow test section of Langley stability tunnel / John D. Bird, Byron M. Jaquet, John W. Cowan.

Results of a wind tunnel investigation made to determine the influence of the fuselage and tail surfaces on the rotary derivatives in yawing flight of a transonic-airplane configuration having 45 degrees sweptback wing and tail surfaces.

Description
Summary:Results of a wind tunnel investigation made to determine the influence of the fuselage and tail surfaces on the rotary derivatives in yawing flight of a transonic-airplane configuration having 45 degrees sweptback wing and tail surfaces. The tests were run in the curved-flow test section of the Langley stability tunnel at a Reynolds number of 1,070,000 and consisted of balance measurements throughout the angle of attack range for several flight-path radii of curvature. The results are compared with data from forced-oscillation and free-oscillation tests, and a description of testing techniques is included.
