You can read online Effect Of Wing Height And Dihedral On Stability Characteristics Of A 76 Deg Swept Wing Body At Mach Numbers From 160 To 463 and write the review.

Lateral-stability flight tests were made over the Mach number range from 0.7 to 1.3 of models of three airplane configurations having 45deg sweptback wings. One model had a high wing; one, a low wing; and one, a high wing with cathedral. The models were otherwise identical. The lateral oscillations of the models resulting from intermittent yawing disturbances were interpreted in terms of full-scale airplane flying qualities and were further analyzed by the time-vector method to obtain values of the lateral stability derivatives.
The drag due to lift increases with increasing sweep through the Mach number range. Some increase in bag due to lift is evident decrease in taper ratio for wings having 300of sweep through most of the speed range.
An investigation was conducted to determine the effects of wing-tip droop on the longitudinal stability characteristics of a 53 and a 63 degree sweptback wing-body combination. Both models were tested with flat and abruptly drooped wing tips. The 63 degree wing was also tested with a curved drooped tip. In addition, the combined effects of wing fences and extended leading-edge flaps were investigated. The results showed that abrupt droop of the outer 40 percent of the basic 53 degree wing improved the stability characteristics of the model. For the 63 degree swept wing, curved droop caused slight beneficial effects on the stability, whereas abrupt droop caused adverse effects. In general, the most favorable stability characteristics were obtained for either flat or abruptly drooped wings with fences and extended leading-edge flaps.
