description abstractINTRODUCTION
A study of the low-speed characteristics of an airplane configuration with an aspect ratio 2 triangular wing and an all-movable horizontal tail has been undertaken in the Ames 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel. The results of tests to determine the longitudinal characteristics, reported in reference 1, showed that of the three vertical positions of the horizontal tail used, namely, 0-, 25-, and 50-percent wing semispan above the wing-chord plane, only the lowest provided satisfactory longitudinal stability. Accordingly, this position of the horizontal tail was selected for the investigation of the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of the airplane configuration in sideslip. The investigation also included tests of the wing alone, wing-fuselage, and wing-fuselage-vertical-tail combinations. The results are presented herein without analysis in order to expedite publication.
