WIND-TUNNEL INVESTIGATION AT LOW SPEED OF THE YAWING STABILITY DERIVATIVES OF A 1/9-SCALE POWERED MODEL OF THE CONVAIR XFY-1 VERTICALLY RISING AIRPLANE

Abstract

An experimental investigation has been conducted in the Langley stability tunnel at low speed to determine the yawing stability derivatives of a 1/9-scale powered model of the Convair XFY-1 vertically rising airplane. Effects of thrust coefficient were investigated for the complete model and for certain components of the model. Effects of control deflections and of propeller blade angle were investigated for the complete model. Most of the tests were made through an angle-of-attack range from about -4 deg to 29 deg, and the thrust coefficient range was from 0 to 0.7.
